Now vailable at the bdp store… bookdummypress: Overpainted Photographs by Gerhard Richterhttp://store.bookdummypress.com/product/overpainted-photographs-by-gerhard-richter Being that photographs often represent one moment in time it may be a natural conclusion that by default they also represent a response by a photographer based on his or her mood at that moment. For mediums such as painting which can take days, weeks or months to complete one work, the artist can often bring a wealth of different moods to that individual work. The artist Gerhard Richter, who works meticulously layer by layer and is in a state of constant reevaluation as the process is engaged, has said of his painting that they “never come into being in a single mood.” Overpainted Photographs features work that can be seen as departing from this sensibility allowing for direct and rapid creations of painted works which act more to represent, like photography, a single mood of the artist.
