Gerhard Richter (born 1932)

Born in 1932 in Dresden, Gerhard Richter first was trained as a stage and advertising painter before studying 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 often used photographs as patterns, which got enlarged and subsequently transferred into his own preferred medium - paintings and prints. He is known for his abstract, expressively colorful works which consist of numerous 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 various exhibitions at the documenta, at the Biennale in Venice and in large retrospectives in New York and at the National Gallery in Berlin in 2013. Gerhard Richter works and lives in Cologne. (fea)
