Berlin-based artist Daniel Richter has achieved a notable reputation, especially in Europe, for his abstract paintings of the last decade. But, since 1999, he has garnered a heightened level of critical attention with the emergence of his large-scale quasi-surrealist works for which he employs an expansive archive of ephemera including found images such as reproductions of artworks, book covers, film stills, newspaper clippings, comics and record album covers. Daniel Richter: Pink Flag – White Horse presents an important selection of recent paintings which bring revisionist politics, history painting, and the impact of popular culture in the media (i.e., the incitement of fear, pervasive acts of violence, global threats) into sharp focus. Born in Germany in 1962, Richter has been included in numerous exhibitions, including recent shows at NBK - Neuer Berliner Kunstverein, Berlin; Hamburger Bahnhof, Museum für Gegenwart, Berlin; and the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin. The 64 page hardbound catalogue, designed by the artist and Kuhle & Mozer Design, includes over 25 full colour reproductions of Richters paintings from 2000-04 and an introduction by curators Wayne Baerwaldt, Director, The Power Plant; Kitty Scott, Curator of Contemporary Art, the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa; and Scott Watson, Director/Curator, Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver.
