The Story of: Gerhard Richter (1932–Today)
- With his career on the rise, Richter was exhibiting with his good friend Conrad Fischer, who became a very progressive gallerist, showcasing the top artists of minimal art, conceptual art and formalism. Think of Karl André, Sol Lewitt, Bruce Nauman, Fred Sambach, On Kawara or Richard Long. In this context, Richter felt much more at home with painting, allowing the artist to take on painting outside of its tradition, questioning it as no other artist had done before. During the first years of this decade, Richter painted many portraits, of which a specific series of 48 portraits would be showcased at the 36th Venice Biennale in 1972, followed by participating in Documenta V in Kassel.
