Now available at the bdp store… bookdummypress: WALD by Gerhard Richterhttp://store.bookdummypress.com/product/wald-by-gerhard-richter This artist book contains Richter’s photographs of a forest near his home in Cologne, Germany. The idea of a ready-made artwork that is dependent on one action guided by instinct. That of course is photography itself and for the seeming casualness of these photographs, they actually reveal a maker so skilled and informed that each holds a unique appeal. Each solid yet testing different combination of form that risk repetition and failure.(extract from the blog 5B4)http://5b4.blogspot.com/2009/06/wald-by-gerhard-richter.html

    ゲルハルド・リヒターのアーティストブック「WALD」はケルンにある自宅近くの森でひたすら彼が撮り続けた写真をまとめたもの。実は一番センスを問われるこういうカジュアルな写真集をさらっと作ってしまうあたりがさすがです。...
