    The Story of: Gerhard Richter (1932–Today)

    19:49The Story of: Gerhard Richter (1932–Today)
    • Germany and terrorist attacks in the 1970s, a topic which was Richter's most provocative and politically charged body of work up to this day. His abstract works developed towards his characteristic technique using a large squeegee instead of a paintbrush, pushing the colour across the surface, creating new depths, textures and contrasts. The variety of his oeuvre could easily have been a pitfall for Richter's career, but in the end, it was his greatest strength. During the 1980s, and in particular by the end of the decade, Richter achieved true international recognition. In 1985, he received the Oskar Kokoschka Prize and had his first major retrospective, and by the turn of the decade, he was being represented by industry-leading galleries, such as Marion Goodman in New York, or Anthony Dauphine in London.
