Tag: Gerhard Richter
Gerhard Richter, born in 1932 in Dresden, Germany, embarked on his artistic journey by studying at the Dresden Hochschule für Bildende Künste from 1951 to 1956, with a primary focus on mural painting. His transformative encounter with Documenta II in Kassel, Germany, in 1959 prompted a shift in his artistic direction. Following his escape from East Germany in 1961, Richter pursued a second course of study at the Staatliche Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf, where he collaborated with peers Sigmar Polke, Konrad Lueg (later known as the gallerist Konrad Fischer), and Manfred Kuttner, forming the short-lived “capitalist realism” group.
Since 1964, Richter has showcased his work in numerous solo exhibitions across prestigious galleries and museums globally. The artist’s inaugural solo exhibition in a public institution took place at Gegenverkehr, Zentrum für aktuelle Kunst, in Aachen, Germany, in 1969. In 1972, he gained recognition as the sole artist chosen to represent Germany in its national pavilion at the Venice Biennale. Remarkably, Richter holds the record for the most appearances at Documenta in Kassel, Germany, surpassing all other artists. Explore the profound artistic journey of Gerhard Richter through his impactful solo exhibitions and contributions to renowned international art events.

5 NYC Exhibitions for Celebrating Spring
31 March 2023 • Vittoria Benzine
Most New York galleries close at 6 p.m. Brooklyn-based art writer Vittoria Benzine has dutifully applied that control variable the past few months, recording photons and watching the days get longer by the week. Daylight savings only amplifies what naturally happens this time of year — and after a two week grace period for Benzine’s annual energetic thrashing at the hands of the vernal equinox, she emerged again to see what the sky looked like at 6 p.m. Pretty amazing.
