The book shows the works created between 1999 and 2016 in colour plates in original format. Richter's overpainted photos are intimately connected to his paintings. They were created by dragging the photographs through the wet paint on squeegees in his studio. The results are small, surprising gems partly shaped by chance. Announcing his retirement from painting in 2017, Gerhard Richter also concluded work on his overpainted photographs.
