No Drones from Louise Lawler’s Gerhard Richter 2010/2011
New Yorker Photo Booth: Louise Lawler is a photographer known for her portraits of other artists’ work, in which she gives special attention to all the connecting tissue that holds and frames it: walls, floors, hallways, storage units, workers’ hands. As its title suggests, her latest book, “Louise Lawler and/or Gerhard Richter,” published by Schirmer/Mosel, is devoted to photographs taken over the past twenty years of art by Gerhard Richter—including photographs of Lawler’s own photographs of Gerhard Richter pieces (who himself uses photographs and other forms of media in his paintings). The result is a playful exchange among artwork and artist, photograph and painting, and all the trappings that surround them.
Saw this yesterday, an amazing film - a glimpse into the world of Richter’s making…

Time is short.
Ars longa,
vita brevis,
occasio praeceps,
experimentum periculosum,
iudicium difficile.
art [technique, craft] is long,
life is short,
opportunity fleeting,
experiment dangerous,
judgment difficult.

GERHARD RICHTER, KÖLN - COURTESY GERHARD- RICHTER-ARCHIV DRESDEN
“There was the painting of a warship that had been hit by a torpedo. It was shown in 1964, in the first gallery show of a painter who was still unknown at the time. It looked serious and dramatic, with the calm water in the distance, the inconspicuous silhouette of the ship and, underneath it all, a gigantic explosion. But then it disappeared.” via
