Rivaling Reality
Sixty Years of Photorealism
A pyrotechnic display of illusionistic painting – with around ninety masterworks by more than thirty artists to celebrate sixty years of international photorealism. Richard Estes, Audrey Flack, Ralph Goings, Ron Kleemann, Karin Kneffel, Gerhard Richter and others transform trivial everyday motifs into brilliant hyper-realistic pictorial worlds using specialised painting techniques.
description
This book pays homage to the illusory power of painting and at the same time takes a worldwide tour through the everyday culture of the modern age: images of vehicles with gleaming chrome in middle-class residential areas, brightly coloured candies, shimmering lipstick cases, deserted fast-food restaurants and garish advertisements – they all captivate through their technical brilliance and astounding precision, which seeks to compete with photography while consciously turning away from abstraction.
