Summary: For the Richter aficionado and student of the arts
Review: I am mad about Gerhard Richter. Especially when it comes to his masked and stripped oil paintings. Therefore it makes sense that I would have to acquire this little book full of detail panels of Richter's painting. That's it. That's why you would buy this thing. It's straightforward and there's really no other use for it once you are done staring. It gets filed under "reference" in my library. When someone wants to see what it is about this German painter that get me so juiced, and we don't want to run out to the Saint Louis Art Museum and I don't have Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation lying around (or even if I do) then I let them flip through this little art book.
