More about the book
In 2004, a Danish newspaper revealed the provenance of the magazine-clipping source image for Gerhard Richter's 1965 painting Three Sisters, which had until then been a mystery, even to the artist. The girls were in fact the three Danish princesses Margrethe, Benedikte, and Anne-Marie. This catalogue provides an overview of the important German artist's career and explores questions about the imagery from which Richter draws, including anonymous material from newspapers and magazines, as well as snapshots by the artist himself and others. In addition to reproductions of his paintings, both figurative and abstract, this volume contains a biography, essays, and a selection of photographs of Richter from 1967 to 1999 by Manfred Leve.
