Trailer of the Richter Show

The exhibition Gerhard Richter: Abstraction was inspired by one work in the Hasso Plattner Foundation, and it brought together over ninety loan from museums and private collections from all over the world, some of which were shown for the first time. The exhibition followed Richter’s development from the early Photo paintings and Color Charts to the Detail paintings, the Gray paintings, the Inpaintings, and the Abstract pictures, as Richter often titled his works from the late 1970s onward.

The exhibition, curated by Ortrud Westheider, director of the Museum Barberini, and Dietmar Elger, director of the Gerhard Richter Archive at the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, was developed in close collaboration with the Gerhard Richter Archive.
