Gerhard Richter: Landscapes

Rating:
Summary: Lovely book - false advertising!
Review: I really like this book. BUT... this is NOT the book that you see when you click on the "See Inside The Book" option above. This book is 44 pages long, and is the catalogue from a gallery show in NY. The book they show in "Look Inside..." is a translation of a german book of 129 pages published by Hatje Cantz. This book has only 9 Richter plates (and a couple of Caspar David Friedrich plates) while the german one has at least twenty, and there maybe a second page of plates listed that isn't accessible through Amazon. Now I really like small gallery publications; the essays are different (but maybe no less obfuscating in their tangential onanism) and the focus is narrower, and I don't want to give the impression that I am disappointed in this book - it's just not the book that I thought I was ordering. Therefore, 4 not 5 stars.
