Gerhard Richter (b. 1932)

After his training as a stage and advertising painter the well-known German artist Gerhard Richter began to study at the Art Academies in Dresden and Düsseldorf. From 1971 to 1993 he worked as a professor for painting at the Academy of Art in Düsseldorf. Gerhard Richter uses photographs as models, he then enlarges these motifs and subsequently transfers them into his own preferred medium of paintings and prints. He is known for his abstract, expressively colorful works which are created with color layers, abrasions and overpainting. Richter’s experimental engagement with actuality and the painterly staged reality are visible in his entire oeuvre which has been honored widely. Today he is one of the most sought after artists in the world and his works are presented internationally, such as at the Biennale in Venice and in large retrospectives in New York and at the National Gallery in Berlin. Gerhard Richter works and lives in Cologne. (cbo)
