Published on the occasion of Daniel Richter’s major mid-career retrospective, jointly organized by the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art (Denmark), 21er Haus Vienna, and Camden Arts Centre London.

This volume traces Richter’s evolution from expressive abstraction in the 1990s to later figurative works charged with social and political imagery. The publication presents key works from each phase of his career, contextualized through essays by Roberto Ohrt, Michael Juul Holm, Poul Erik Tøjner, and the artist himself. Richter’s paintings – densely layered, theatrical, and visually striking – reflect on contemporary history and visual culture, resisting linear readings while affirming painting’s critical potential. A concise yet essential document of one of the most important painters of his generation.
