This sixth volume of the Gerhard Richter catalogue raisonné includes a look into Richter's (born 1932) most recent works, from 2007 to 2019, and documents new methods and experimentation. New works include the window at Cologne Cathedral (2007), a two-year project using almost 11,500 squares of multicolored glass created with medieval processes; the Sinbad series (2008), a collection of vivid reverse glass paintings exhibited in duos; the Strip Paintings (2010–11), made through a

process of digital printing, which fruitfully expand the notion of what defines a "painting" in the digital era; and the Birkenau (2014) paintings, based on four photographs taken by inmates of Birkenau concentration camp, copied onto canvas and painted over by Richter. These projects, among a variety of others, are presented alongside extensive technical information on all works, including details of the artist's handwritten notes. Comments, quotations and comparative illustrations supplement the information on the works and serve as a reminder of Richter's place among the most important artists alive today.

本书介绍了画家格哈德·里希特（Gerhard Richter，生于1932年）从2007年到2019年的新作，并记录了新的方法和实验。新作品包括科隆大教堂的窗户（2007年），这是一个为期两年的项目，使用了近11,500个方块的多色玻璃，用中世纪的工艺制作；辛巴达系列（2008年），一组生动的反向玻璃画；条纹绘画（2010-11年），通过数字印刷的过程制作，富有成效地扩展了数字时代定义“绘画”的概念；以及比尔克瑙绘画（2014），基于比尔克瑙集中营的囚犯拍摄的四张照片，复制到帆布上，由里希特画上。这些项目，以及其他各种项目，与所有作品的广泛技术信息一起呈现，包括艺术家手写笔记的细节。本书还补充了评论、引文和对比插图等信息，提醒人们注意里希特在当今重要艺术家中的地位。
