Reassured by Richter - Letters
Art in America, April, 2002 by Grace Graupe-Pillard
To the Editors:
A critic friend once told me that I would like Gerhard Richter if I ever met him, and after reading Robert Storr's interview "Gerhard Richter: The Day Is Long" [A.i.A., Jan. '02], I understand why.
Richter's answers to Storr's questions are both direct and hesitant, reflecting all-too-human doubts, yet giving voice to the artist's intense involvement with painting as a way of life. His replies reinforce all the reasons why many of us love to paint--as well as the struggles we all endure to pull off a painting, and our tedious, often impossible relationship with the "art world." The interview becomes a dialogue, with Storr posing questions that only another painter who understands the process could ask.
