Richter, Gerhard (artist); Storr, Robert (author) - Gerhard Richter October 18, 1977

Title: Gerhard Richter October 18, 1977
Description: New York, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, Publisher, 1977. Cloth. Folio. Black cloth with a pastedown illustration on the front cover. 151 pp. Black and white photos and art throughout. A work issued in conjunction with an exhibition of the paintings October 18, 1977 by Gerhard Richter, in which he painted members of the so-called Baader Meinhof group, including jail cells, etc. Debuting without fanfare in 1989, the work portrayed the murkiness in the political and social settings of Germany of the late 1960s and 70s. The group murdered and kidnapped many people, at the same time bringing attention to the uncomfortable fact that members of the Nazi regime during and prior to World War II, were still in positions of power in Germany. This book looks at the paintings, as well as the events that led to the events of October 18, 1977. GOOD condition. Uneven fading and some soiling to the covers. Minor edgewear. A hint of foxing along the top edge of a few pages. Good .
