Aline Guillermet uncovers Gerhard Richter's appropriation of science and technology from 1960 to the present and shows how this has shaped the artist's well-documented engagement with the canon of Western painting.
Through a study of Richter's portraits, history paintings, landscapes and ornamental abstractions, Guillermet reveals the artist's role in affirming the technological condition of painting in the second half of the twentieth century: a historical situation in which the medium and its conventions have become shaped, and to some extent transformed, by technological innovations.
Aline Guillermet teaches History of Art at the Institute of Continuing Education, University of Cambridge and is a former Fellow of King's College, Cambridge. Her research focuses on the impact of science and technology on artistic practices since the 1960s. She is the author of several journal articles including in Representations, Media Theory and Art History.
