Gerhard Richter, the German painter, is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential artists of the post-war era. Known for his extraordinary versatility, Richter’s practice spans photorealistic painting, abstract canvases, overpainted photographs, and glass installations. His ability to move seamlessly between realism and abstraction has challenged the very definition of painting, while his works consistently probe questions of perception, memory, and truth. With a career spanning more than six decades, Richter has left an indelible mark on contemporary art, and his works are represented in virtually every major museum collection worldwide.
