Fondation Louis Vuitton presents a sweeping retrospective dedicated to Gerhard Richter, one of the most influential artists of the past century. Bringing together 275 works spanning more than six decades, the exhibition offers an unparalleled view of Richter’s practice — from early photo-based paintings to his final abstractions, as well as glass and steel sculptures, works on paper, and overpainted photographs.
Tracing his lifelong engagement with both image and material, the exhibition reveals how Richter continually redefined painting’s possibilities, filtering reality through photography, memory, and abstraction. Organized chronologically, it highlights the artist’s restless experimentation and his enduring fascination with perception, history, and the act of making.
Continuing the Fondation’s tradition of major monographic exhibitions, this presentation stands as the most comprehensive exploration to date of Richter’s vision, and demonstrate his deep impact on contemporary art.
