Gerhard Richter was born in 1932 in Dresden, Germany and lives and works in Cologne, Germany. He studied at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts and then the Düsseldorf Art Academy. His work has been the subject of exhibitions internationally, including touring retrospectives at the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf; Tate Modern, London; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; and the Museum of Modern Art, New York, among many others. Richter has experimented with photography, drawing, printing, sculpture and, notably, painting. Aided by the diversity of his media, the artist has continuously examined the nature of imagery, highlighting in particular the contingency of representation.
