简介
这本书探讨了艺术作品与其所创造的世界之间的深刻关联。作者 Gerhard Richter 认为，艺术作品诞生于一个特定的世界，而这个“源世界”会随着时间推移而消逝、衰败，乃至变得无法被确切理解。然而，艺术作品本身又能够开启一个全新的世界，一个承载着新意义与新认知的空间 。
Richter 通过对诗歌、绘画、音乐、电影、文学和摄影等多种艺术形式的考察，并结合对马克思、尼采、海德格尔、德里达等西方重要哲学家的重新解读，来剖析这两个世界之间的复杂关系。书中涉及到的艺术家和作品也极为广泛，包括保罗·策兰、荷尔德林、沃纳·赫尔佐格、阿诺德·勋伯格、卡夫卡、梅尔维尔等 。

An engagement with the relation between the world in which an artwork is created—a world that perishes or decays over time—and the new world that the artwork opens up. Gerhard Richter explores the relation between two worlds: the world in which an artwork is created, that is, a world that over time perishes or decays beyond interpretive understanding, and the new world that the artwork opens up. The multiple relations between these worlds are examined in a number of central thinkers and in various modes of aesthetic production, including poetry, painting, music, film, literature, and photography. It is precisely in and through the work of art, Richter shows, that central elements of the thinking of world as world are negotiated in the most essential and moving ways.
