Outsiders, adventurers, terrorists, assassins – with his new paintings Daniel Richter remains true to his theme of outsiderdom and adventurism. At the centre stands the figure of the Levantine Old Man of the Mountain with the Assassins. This is the documented history of young Muslims in the early Middle Ages who, as the will-less henchmen of an archaic sect leader, were fed hashish in a parallel universe, half paradise, half brothel, in order, once the intoxication had passed, to terrify the Islamic world as suicide bombers or terrorists. Daniel Richter’s latest series, with many large-format paintings, is presented for the first time in this book, published on the occasion of its first showing at the Kestnergesellschaft in Hannover. A spectacular oversized format guarantees optimal reproduction.
