Gerhard Richter (b. 1932) is one of the most highly regarded of contemporary artists, and his series of 15 paintings known as October 18, 1977, is one of the 20th century's most famous works on a political theme. It commemorates the day on which three young German radicals, members of the militant Baader-Meinhof group, were found dead in a Stuttgart prison; they were pronounced suicides, but many people suspected that they had been murdered. Richter's paintings, created 11 years after this traumatic event, are among the most challenging works of the artist's career.These hauntingly powerful images, derived from newspaper and police photography, are now in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and will be on view beginning in September 2000 as part of the MoMA2000 series of exhibitions. In this book, Robert Storr provides necessary political background to the series, but his approach is art historical, offering insight into the complexities of "history painting" in the modern era.

A Museum of Modern Art Book This splendidly illustrated panorama of the arts from 1920 to 1960 focuses on four landmark years-1929, 1939, 1948, and 1955. Published to accompany the second of three cycles of millennial exhibitions (MoMA2000) at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, Making Choices presents cross-sections of modern art in all its many aspects during this period, and shows how the concept of simultaneity was essential to the concept of early modernism. The sheer diversity of work made in this period becomes clear as readers survey the different types of film, photography, design, painting, sculpture, drawing, and printmaking-all from the Modern's collections-reproduced here. But the richly variegated artistic texture revealed by such an across-the-board look also brings to light unexpected correspondences among distinct objects and images. Making Choices points toward modern art's heterogeneity even as it invites readers to search out and discover imaginative correlations. Approximately 350 illustrations, 220 in full color, 9 1/2 x 12"

Robert Storr's is one of the sharpest minds in American art museums. The New York Review of Books[Gerhard Richter is] Europe's most challenging modern painter. Michael KimmelmanGerhard Richter is widely recognized as one of the most significant painters working today, and he is certainly among the most influential. He has worked in a wide range of manners since the early 1960s, producing abstractions, landscapes, images derived from the mass media and photographs, and more. Seen together, these works call into question such widely held assumptions as the importance of stylistic consistency, individual artistic sensibility and spontaneous creativity. They also explore the impact of technology and media imagery on the traditional methods and formats of painting. The Museum of Modern Art has published two important books on Richter, both written by Robert Storr: one covering 40 years of his painting, and published to accompany the museumis large Richter retrospective in spring 2002, and one focusing on a single crucial series, October 18, 1977, which Richter painted in 1988. This new publication brings together the essays, an interview and bibliography from both of those books in a single volume--an ideal service for the student who wants both texts at hand at a relatively low price.

R. Crumb's obsessions—spanning sex, the Bible, music, politics, and the absurdities of daily life—are explored in this comprehensive collection of the renowned American comic artist's work. A pivotal figure in the underground comics movement of the 1960s and 1970s in San Francisco, Crumb has pushed the limits of graphic arts, redefining comics and cartoons as vital countercultural expressions. This volume presents a diverse selection of printed materials from Crumb's five-decade career, including original drawings and comics from various publications, comic book covers, and broadsides from the 1960s and 1970s, alongside tabloids from Haight-Ashbury, Oakland, and the Lower East Side. It also features historical works from the 18th and 19th centuries that influenced Crumb, as well as pages from his rarely seen sketchbooks from the 1970s and 1980s, showcasing his exceptional drafting skills. Documenting the acclaimed exhibition "Drawing for Print: Mind Fucks, Kultur Klashes, Pulp Fiction & Pulp Fact" at David Zwirner in New York in 2019, curated by Robert Storr, this publication invites readers to delve into Crumb's distinctive worldview. Storr's accompanying text examines the provocative nature of Crumb's art and the significance of artists challenging the status quo.
