description Gerhard Richter Overview

Gerhard Richter is one of the most significant living painters, known for his ability to oscillate between photorealism and pure abstraction. His 'photo-paintings,' where he blurs photographic images with oil paint, challenge the viewer's perception of reality and memory. Conversely, his squeegee-based abstract works explore the role of chance and process in painting. Richters work is essential for understanding the contemporary dialogue between photography and painting.

He remains a master of process, constantly questioning what a painting can be in an age dominated by digital imagery.
