"With a brush you have control. The paint goes on the brush and you make the mark. From experience you know exactly what will happen. With the squeegee you lose control. Not all control, but some control. It depends on the angle, the pressure and the particular paint I am using." - I Have Nothing to Say and I'm Saying it, Conversation between Gerhard Richter and Nicholas Serota, Spring 2011. Gerhard Richter, a renowned figure in post-war Germany's art scene, is celebrated for his diverse and profoundly influential approach to painting. His body of work encompasses a vast array of styles and techniques, blending elements of photography with traditional painting methods. Richter's oeuvre includes both figurative pieces, inspired by found images, and abstract compositions that integrate photographic visual elements. Renowned for his monumental scale creations, he has ventured into glass panels and stained glass windows, showcasing his versatility. Central to Richter's artistic ethos are the concepts of layering and erasure, which he employs skillfully in his creations. Having received his education from prestigious institutions such as the Kunstakademie in Dresden and the Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf, Richter has left an indelible mark on the global art scene. His works have been featured in prominent exhibitions worldwide, hosted by esteemed institutions including the Museum Barberini, the Serpentine Galleries, the Museum of Modern Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, and Tate Modern. Notably, his pieces have fetched substantial sums, reaching tens of millions of dollars in the secondary market.
