{"product_id":"gerhard-richter-gerhard-richter-9783960983880","title":"Gerhard Richter: 100 Self-Portraits","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor the subscription edition of Gerhard Richter's (born 1932) \u003ci\u003eSchriften und Interviews\u003c\/i\u003e, published by Insel Verlag in 1993 in an edition of 100 copies, the artist drew a small \"self-portrait\" in pencil on the back of a portrait photograph at the front of the book. Enthused by this work, between September and December 1993 he produced a further 94 signed and dated self-portraits on loose sheets of paper, which are published here for the first time. Seen together as a series, Richter's exercise becomes truly impressive: despite the consistency of conception, each instance has an individual formal and aesthetic appearance. These pencil drawings form a series of variations whose aspiration is not the gradual approach toward a perfected final outcome, but rather the serial testing of different but equally weighted possibilities of representation within limited specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gerhard Richter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3960983883\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783960983880\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Walther Konig Verlag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/20\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.80w x 0.90d","brand":"Gerhard Richter","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44079474508031,"sku":"9783960983880","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0809b867-c0fb-4733-99eb-46f7f35a27f8.jpg?v=1685481348","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gerhard-richter-gerhard-richter-9783960983880","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
