Gerhard Richter's Dialectic of Doubt and Destruction
Gerhard Richter presents around sixty works at the Museum Frieder Burda in Baden-Baden until April 27. The exhibition, drawn from four private collections plus works owned by the artist, spans over forty years of creation. It is not a retrospective but a concentrated display of Richter's dialectical approach to abstraction and photography. The show highlights his refusal to be reduced to a single facet. After an initial meeting in Baden-Baden, where the artist was overwhelmed by media attention, art critic Erik Verhagen interviewed Richter again in Paris during his exhibition at Galerie Marian Goodman (January 26 – March 1). Relaxed and serene, Richter shared reflections on his art.
