Richter 858 is an album by Bill Frisell consisting of improvised music inspired by the paintings of German artist Gerhard Richter. The album features Frisell, Eyvind Kang, Jenny Scheinman and Hank Roberts. Richter 858 was originally released as part of a limited-edition volume of Gerhard Richter's paintings which also contained poetry and essays by Dave Hickey and Klaus Kertess inspired by the artist's work. The album was rereleased in 2005 on the Songlines label with a CD-ROM with MP3 music to accompany a slide show of the paintings, which are reproduced in an accompanying booklet.
The Allmusic review by Sean Westergaard awarded the album 4 stars stating "This is a very interesting new sound for Bill Frisell, and apparently this band is developing more music together outside the scope of the original project. Recommended.".
