The contributors to this book rewrite Richter's history to include his pivotal role in the development of the early twentieth-century avant-garde and his political activism.
"Hans Richter was a central figure in the avant-garde for more than 50 years. This book examines the ways in which these "encounters"--to use Richter's own term--with other artists engendered creativity, originality, and meaning throughout his career. Including a chronology and Richter's first complete filmography in English, this volume sheds light on the relationships between modernism's most experimental artists, movements, and generations. Author, Timothy O. Benson with Contributions by Doris Berger,Edward Dimendberg, Philippe-alain Michaud, Michael White, and Yvonne Zimmermann"--

In English for the first time, the pioneering Dadaist's insights and remembrances of a lifetime working side-by-side with the leading modern artists of the twentieth century. In contrast to the image of the lone artist creating in isolation, Richter's long and prolific career was fueled by his encounters with others. With appearances by Caler, Cocteau, Duchamp, Eisenstein, Fellini, Hoch, Kaprow, Malevich, Mondrian, Man Ray, and Tzara (to name just a few), Encounters from Dada till Today documents the collaborative aspirations of a generation of modern artists, as well as testifies to a lifetime of friendships forged in creativity.

The Richter Interviewscollects together a series of conversations between Hans Ulrich Obrist and Gerhard Richter over the course of more than two decades of discussion and collaboration. Subjects range from Richter's place within art history to artists' books, architecture, religion, unrealised projects and his advice for young artists. The collection also includes a previously unpublished interview focused on Richter's much-lauded window for Cologne Cathedral, unveiled in 2007. Obrist's vast knowledge and interrogating mind coupled with his longstanding friendship with Richter make him a unique interlocutor for an artist whose work spans more than 60 years and ranges from painting to photography, glass to printmaking, watercolours to books. Obrist deftly guides the reader through a dazzling array of topics and offers an invaluable historical perspective on Richter's place within the art world of the 20th and 21st centuries. Illustrations of discussed artworks by Richter feature throughout the texts for visual reference - making this an indispensable guide to the thinking and creative processes of one of the world's most admired artists.
