Following in the steps of Gerhard Richter's catalogue raisonne of drawings, published 20 years ago, HENI Publishing's new monograph devoted to Gerhard Richter's recent drawings will illustrate 80 works produced between 1999 and 2021. Drawings 1999-2021 highlights a recent period of extraordinary creativity and inventiveness that includes expansive series of graphite drawings on paper, vivid watercolours and overpainted photographs of forests. Like the accompanying exhibition at the Hayward Gallery, London, this publication offers a rare chance to study the most intimate aspect of Gerhard Richter's work.

Published on the occasion of an exhibition devoted to Gerhard Richter's drawings at the Hayward Gallery, London to open in September 2021
