Things that inspire us: Gerhard Richter’s Atlas, 1962-2013
Gerhard Richter’s Atlas is a collection of photographs, newspaper cuttings, and sketches. Richter has been assembling them since the mid 1960s. He selects and arranges visual elements on loose sheets of paper.
Why we like it:
• The assembled pictures and notes give insights into Gerhard Richter’s thoughts process. It highlights the narratives he developed alongside his other works.
• The sheer amount of thoughts and visual references over the years is simply amazing.
