The catalogue was published on the occasion of an exhibition at the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Seoul, Korea in 2006, after being shown in Malaga, Lisbon and Athens beforehand.
The art critic Rae-Kyung Park and Jürgen Schilling, curator of the exhibition, introduce Gerhard Richter's œuvre. Numerous quotes of the artist illuminate the exhibited groups of work, which reach from early photo paintings and colour field paintings to abstract paintings.
