Gerhard Richter. Paintings from Private Collections

Due to the success of the huge Polke-retrospective in 2007, that combined three private collections in the Frieder Burda Museum, the museum decided to organize further exhibitions based on the same conception. From January 19 to May 12, 2008, a huge Richter show with important works from the internationally renowned collections Ingrid and Georg Böckmann (Berlin), Ströher (Darmstadt) and Frieder Burda will be presented in Baden-Baden. Gerhard Richter will provide significant works from his private property.

The Baden-Baden show will be curated by Gerhard Richter himself. The approximately 60 exhibited works from private collections will provide a fantastic insight in more than 40 years of creativity, reflecting German post-war history as well as the notion of painting itself. The show will present the whole range of Richter’s excessive œuvre, from the photorealistic paintings to his large-scale abstract compositions with their fascinating colours and technical perfection, focusing on all the different painting techniques Richters excels in.
