70 Utrecht. Hedendaagse Kunst. GERHARD RICHTER: Atlas van de foto’s en schetsen. Dec.

1972. (1)f., 140 plates. Wraps. The first publication of Richter’s “Atlas” on the occasion of its first exhibition at the Museum Hedendaagse Kunst. A foundational work, key to Richter’s continuing enterprise as an artist, “Atlas” documents the artist’s collections of photographs culled from newspapers, magazines, commercial publications, and a vast array of other sources, broadening in scope from its beginnings in 1964, and supplemented with photos and drawings of his own. Designed by Richter himself, “Atlas” is an artist’s book conceived entirely in visual terms, devoid of text apart from a paragraph of comment by Wouter Kotte on the back cover. Loosely inserted, as issued, the museum’s sheet of dates and credits for the exhibition. Wraps. very slightly soiled; a fine copy.
