Retrospectivă Gerhard Richter în Franţa

Musée de Grenoble expune lucrări semnate de unul dintre cei mai apreciaţi artişti germani din Franţa.

Expoziţia cuprinde cele 40 de lucrări din colecţiile publice din Hexagon ale artistului german şi este curatoriată chiar de directorul Musée de Grenoble. Gerhard Richter este unul dintre cei mai greu de încadrat artişti ai secolului XX, datorită numeroaselor sale schimbări stilistice. O perioadă importantă, Richter a fost perceput ca fiind minimalist sau conceptualist, pentru ca mai târziu să fie declarat artistul care anunţă apusul picturii prin seria de tablouri gri “Grau” din 1973 (..)

Gerhard Richter, 'the grandaddy of contemporary painting', is being celebrated at the National Portrait Gallery in the first major exhibition of his portrait paintings. His hyperreal figures, derived from photographs, subtly skew the photorealist tradition and alongside his seductive abstract paintings, arguably make him the world's most influential living artist. Thirty-five key works are to go on show from 26th February, including a portrait of Richter's daughter Ella, which is to be exhibited for the first time.

Gerhard Richter: omul din spatele tabloului

With his wildly differing styles and notorious reluctance to be interviewed, the German painter Gerhard Richter is one of the most enigmatic of artists. Yet Martin Gayford (from the Daily Telegraph) finds him surprisingly talkative about his history, painting, and his forthcoming series of exhibitions.
