Gerhard Richter (b. 1932)

The German artist Gerhard Richter works and lives in Cologne. From 1971 to 1993 he was Professor for painting at the art academy in Düsseldorf. After his training as a stage set and advertising painter he began his studies at the art academies in Dresden and Düsseldorf. Richter’s works are presented internationally, amongst others at the Biennial Venice, as well as at large retrospectives in New York and lately in the New National Gallery in Berlin. Gerhard Richter used photographs as models; he enlarged these motifs and then transferred them into his own preferred media – paintings and prints. He is known for his abstract, expressively colorful works which are created with color layers, abrasions and over painting. Richter’s experimental engagement with actuality and the painterly staged reality are visible in his entire oeuvre which has been honored widely. (tm)
