Gerhard Richter, known for neutralizing the communicative potential of his paintings, surprisingly engages in extensive discussions about his work. His collection of writings, "The Daily Practice of Painting," edited by Hans Ulrich Obrist and first published in 1993, became a fundamental text across creative fields. The new edition, enriched with Richter's private archive, includes farewell letters to his teacher, unpublished texts spanning 1962 to 2007, and an interview about his contribution to the 52nd Venice Biennale. With over 600 pages, it serves as an indispensable companion to Richter's vast artistic legacy, offering insights into his doubts, uncertainties, and reflections on various periods of his career.
