Daniel Richter

Richter’s massive paintings represent a significant contribution to a renewed discussion of painting’s importance in 21st century artmaking. His visual “voice” is unique because it brings revisionist politics, history painting as realistic painting, and the impact of popular culture in the media into sharp focus amidst zones of deliberate obfuscation.

Organized by The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery, Toronto, the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, and The Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery, Vancouver. The exhibition is made possible by the support of The Canada Council for the Arts, The Ontario Arts Council, the City of Toronto through the Toronto Arts Council, the Goethe Institut, Toronto, and Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen, Stuttgart.
