Gerhard Richter is one of the most important artists of our time.  His paintings, both figurative and abstract, have had a huge impact on several generations of artists and helped to make painting once again a vital means of artistic expression.

Drawn from a small, select number of private collections, this exhibition provides an unrivalled overview of the artist’s career from 1963 to the present.  It includes iconic works of the 1960s based on magazine and newspaper cuttings and personal photographs to his recent abstract canvases.

This section allows you to obtain a feel for the exhibition before visiting.  Take your time exploring some of the show’s major themes, and enjoy a preview of nine highlighted works.
