Gerhard Richter is one of the most influential and versatile contemporary artists of the 20th and 21st centuries. Born in Dresden, Germany, in 1932, Richter’s prolific career spans over six decades and defies easy categorization. His work moves fluidly between photorealism and abstraction, challenging traditional boundaries.
Richter first gained recognition in the 1960s with his photo-paintings, which blurred the lines between photography and painting. Using found photographs—often family snapshots, press images, or historical documentation—he reproduced them on canvas with a distinctive, hazy technique that evoked memory, loss, and uncertainty. This early work reflected his experiences growing up in Nazi Germany and later East Germany, where images were often manipulated for ideological purposes.
Starting in the 1970s, Richter expanded his practice to include large-scale abstractions, vibrant colors, as well as minimalist glass and mirror installations. His abstract paintings, created with squeegees and layers of paint, reveal a fascination with chance, process, and surface.
Throughout his career, Richter has remained intellectually rigorous and deeply skeptical of fixed meaning in art. His refusal to commit to a single style or medium is not indecision but a conscious exploration of perception, truth, and the limitations of images. Whether through a blurred portrait or a towering field of color, Richter invites audiences to question what they see and how they interpret it.
