This large-format publication presents Daniel Richter's drawings in colour illustrations. Richter, born at Eutin in 1962, is a German artist who, in the second half of the nineties set off to conquer the international art world. He succeeded in doing so, even though - or perhaps because - it was in a time dominated by the so-called new media and conceptual space installations and the "end of painting" had once more been proclaimed. Until 2000, Daniel Richter painted abstract pictures exclusively. His newer works show a surprising turn towards the figurative, blending the use of colour and composition as well as a wealth of grotesque elements of form and art historic quotations into a style uniquely his.
