press release

Gerhard Richter is widely regarded as one of the world's leading contemporary artists: a complex figure known both for his figurative paintings based on photographs as well as for abstract paintings. This groundbreaking exhibition is the first to examine Richter's portraits in detail. Covering the period from the 1960s to the present, it includes important early black and white paintings made from magazine photographs, portraits based on private snapshots and a new portrait never previously exhibited.
