About
Why this artist matters now
Gerhard Richter works across photorealistic painting, gestural abstraction, photography, and glass, often within the same body of work. Born in Dresden in 1932, he developed a practice in which photographic imagery is translated into paint with a deliberate blurring, and large-scale squeegee abstractions are built from dense, dragged layers of color. The tension between representation and its dissolution runs through both modes. His work has been exhibited at major institutions including the Museum of Modern Art and Tate Modern.
