Abstract
In 1962 Gerhard Richter began to collect photographs and store them in cardboard boxes. It’s an on going activity that continues, without interruption throughout is life. It’s closely engaged with his artistic research. He takes both his own photographs and the megazine’s ones, private images and cuts of enciclopedias and newspapers, which saved without indications nor sources. The main reason that move Richter to begin and keep working on this project is primarily a need to create a tidy cosmos against the alluvial of images.Downloads
