Gerhard Richter
Co-published by Fondation Louis Vuitton / Citadelles & Mazenod
Gerhard Richter describes himself as a "classic painter." This catalog for the major exhibition organized by the Fondation Louis Vuitton aims to present the full evolution of his career, spanning over six decades. More than 250 works highlight both the continuities and breaks in his achievements, which include not only paintings but also exquisite drawings, overpainted photographs, and sculptures.
Trained in Dresden, Richter is interested in the historical genres of painting, seeking to reinterpret them in a contemporary context, revealing beauty and ethical questions through seemingly conventional subjects. He has also explored various painting techniques, creating works that range from calm and refined to overflowing with energy, reflecting his physical engagement in the creative process.
