A vivid consideration of Gerhard Richter’s September paintings by American scholar and curator Robert Storr.

Accompanying the bestselling English and German language editions of *September* –  developed by HENI Publishing and published by Tate Publishing and Buchhandlung Walther König respectively – HENI Publishing present Italian and Spanish language editions.

In these publications, eminent American scholar and curator Robert Storr offers an authoritative consideration of *September*, Richter’s 2005 painting made in response to the attacks on the World Trade Center of 11 September 2001, asking 'what is the meaning of a single, small, almost abstract depiction of one of the most consequential occurrences in recent world history?'

Opening with a vivid personal account of being in New York that day and paying particular attention to the role of the media, Storr deftly explores the geo-political context of the attacks, capturing the effects of the atrocity on a deeply human level while navigating the complex web of political, social, religious and cultural factors that it embodied and the discourse it has provoked.
