Read our entire artist spotlight on the complete biography and works of Gerhard Richter online: www.contemporaryartissue.com/...
Gerhard Richter was born in 1932 in Dresden, and currently resides and works in Cologne. The German artist is best known for his meticulously rendered photo paintings, in contrast to his bold abstract paintings using a large squeegee instead of a paintbrush.
Richter is arguably the most famous painter today, and is one of the most important contemporary artists in general. He shifts from a photographic realism with a blurred effect, to pure abstraction, as no other artist has ever done before. His oeuvre is the result of an ongoing examination of painting as a medium an sich.
With shows at the most renowned institutions across the globe, encompassing major retrospectives at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, up to Tate Modern in London, Richter’s impressive career spanning across over half a century has been a certainty in today’s art world.
But how did a boy from Dresden become one of the greatest artists in the world to wield a paintbrush? Welcome to the complete biography and disquisition of his oeuvre, a digital retrospective, and (written) film. Welcome to the story of Gerhard Richter.

It’s such a shame these great videos don’t get more attention
Thank you so much for your most kind words, much appreciated! All my best, JD
Beautifully presented as always. Thank you!
I saw his work in 2002 at Moma, was filled with some sort of energy, I was amazed...
That's great to hear! I saw them at Tate for the first time and recall vividly experiencing a similar energy. Mesmerizing. Thank you for tuning in!
@@contemporaryartissue Edvard Munch was also exhibited that time, two amazing artists :-)

The pleasure is ours! Thank you for tuning in
Hello dear readers and subscribers, how have you been? Today we'll be discovering the complete works and biography of Gerhard Richter. Why does Richter paint abstract and photorealistic?

Hello how are you doing today
@@georgehudson8572 Hi George, I am doing well hank you for asking. How are you?
@@contemporaryartissue I'm good where are you chatting from?
I'll be watching a third time!
Very interesting, thank you for making this.
The pleasure is all mine, thank you for tuning in
Would be great if you could do a Version of Sigmar Polke, he is such a master of his work and pretty underrated.
Greetings
Couldn't agree more, the alchemist of painting. Personally, I believe Polke is even more important and ingenious. We have made a video on Polke's Durer Rabbit a while ago, but should indeed perhaps make a more comprehensive video as well. Greetings from Belgium!
감사합니다
좋은 작품 소개 감사드립니다

Thank you.
The pleasure is all mine, thank you for tuning in!
I am a painting lover. I like Richter's painting so much. I met a man in Belgium. He is an abstract artist. His name is Marc Cuypers. He can do paintings just like Richter's.
This was very interesting. Thank you.
The pleasure is all mine!
@@contemporaryartissue I discovered Richter and his art very late in my life; I can't believe what I've been missing. Calm, well-informed films like this really help to get a more comprehensive picture of the artist and his work.
I am definitely going to be sharing this.
That's great! Thank you 🙏
Great video thanks
Thank you for tuning in!
Quantas retomadas de caminhos ele tem feito! Uns 5 ou 6! O que eu mais gostei foi o de emaranhados coloridos! Que bom saber da expressão artística atual. Obrigado!
Exactly! He was always searching for something new and was not afraid to make these shifts in his oeuvre. Terrific artist!
I am next. Thank you for sharing
Great video!
Thank you 🙏
Weil done! Thank you a You Tube classic.
Thank you so much George, I enjoyed editing and writing this one for sure. All my best, JD
Great video.
Thank you 🙏
Che meraviglia ❤
Great Video, love G.R.
Thank you for tuning in!
Lovely story

Thank you for this informative video. Could you please name the source for the map of Europe in 5:05? It has some strange features.
Cheers
Cheers David!
I choose for my presentation
A Master for the Modernity
And of the contemporary!
Love your content and presentation. Just wondering if there's a chance you get to feature contemporary artists and art practice in Africa and global south.
Hi there, thank you for tuning in. Yes, most certainly. We have done a video on African painters but most of them were based in Europe or the States. More videos to come and I definitely aim to show art from any part of the world. Have a great day!
@@contemporaryartissue thanks. It's really important that institutions are built in Africa to unlock and reward the enormous creative work coming out of Africa.
@@chumaanagbado I couldn't agree more. Amen!
❤
❤️
super art
🙌
Valeu!
Thank you Vicente!!
I would love to see some of the artists involved with the Nouveau Realisme movement featured. Specifically I would love to see Arman (Armand Fernandez) and Jacques Villeglé featured.
Hi Khambrel Green, what a terrific suggestion. We have noted it!
Nice! Very Interesting Artist. How was this artist able to change his style so often without any issues in his career?
I see a lot of exploration but a lot of inconsistencies in his style. Is it truly a rule for artist to say consistent with a certain style or is this based on the clout or status an artist already has gain in the art world ?
Hi Drew, great question. In fact, in am preparing an article and video in the foreseeable future about this topic in which Richter is one of the main examples. So stay tuned! Visually, his work has been very versatile indeed, but it was all the result of consistent vision and search in painting. More to come soon. Thank you for tuning in!
Please Sigmar Polke🙏🏼
Great idea! We have recently published a video on Polke's "Durer Rabbit", however a more comprehensive video on Polke would be a great idea for sure. Thank you for tuning in and for the suggestion!
Thank you I am greatest, happiest and richest living artist in the Philippines.
Thank you for tuning in!
Thank you for the great video, loved to see all these clips and the evolutipn of his painting overtime. However, i have obe critique: in these video and many others, the narrativea always ends up being one of a "success story" , how painting brought a kid from Dresda to the top of the artworld. I find it a bit silly in this case. I feel like this kind of narrative completely misses the point of art art and the meaning of richter's path and research. So it is for many other artists.
Go champs go for it, let them web technologies work for you & connect people for those who need to discover the power of fine arts from now on
Thank you for tuning in!
I really like Richter's paintings. What I don't like is using wrong maps in the video ! Finland was never part of USSR as rudely suggested on the map in this video.
Newsflash: Finland had its borders (unlike on the map shown here) + it was never part of the Eastern bloc of communist countries during the cold war. Instead it tried to stay as neutral as possible after fighting for keeping its independence. Would be nice to have seen a more truthful map in this otherwise nice video.
15:05 why could it easily have been a pitfall? Could you explain please
Yes, great question. In the art world, artist who experiment too much are often written of by collectors and critics. Most often, the artist needs to have one specific style or trait, recognizable, and above all consistent. With Richter, we encounter a very strong variety, which no other artist has been able to pull off at the highest level. And doing so it was his strength, as he reached other people, different tastes, countries, due to the immense variety.
@@contemporaryartissue , one thing I have learned from Richter is to embrace my own desire to create a variety of imagery. I'm not at the Quality level that he is at, but I've made some really good work and been blessed to put it in quite a few homes the world over. Variety is the spice of life
@@khambrelgreen That's terrific to hear, congratulations on that one-liner too "Variety is the spice of life". Very well said!
Excellent video, thank you! Ik denk dat ik een landgenote van u ben😉
Dag Christine, hartelijk dank voor het kijken. Ik geloof het ook ;-) Heel veel groeten! Julien

なにこれ
Art. That muddy, chaotic daubing is art. Oh, well, that explains many things of contemporary society.
I agree with Jerry Saltz: Richter is vastly overrated.
🎵 You gotta have
a gimmick 🎵
Agreeing with Saltz doesn't make much of a case for your opinion.
Your statement makes me think less of Jerry Saltz. How disappointing.
ABSTRACT OR REALISTIC ART EXECUTED IN A TECHNOLOGICAL WAY IS NOT TRUE ART.
Do you mean using photographs as reference?
BAUMGARTNER 1720; ART IS THE EXPRESSION OF THE FUNCTIONAL IN THE NON-FUNCTIONAL. ADORNO 1960; ART IS THE NON-IDENTICAL WITHIN THE IDENTICAL.
@@marcionphilologos5367 I don't feel these two quotes support your statement fully, so I must disagree. Caravaggio used a camera obscura for his most iconic pieces. Isn't he a true artist?
@@contemporaryartissue The realist artist is a true artist in the subjective composition of realist figures. Yet, the use of the CAMERA OBSCURA and the extensive work on the details are irrelevant.
I think once we start trying to define what art is in words, we just put a fence around our own appreciation of art. When our ancestors painted on the walls of caves with sticks (or whatever tools they used) and pigments they were already using technology to produce images. Richter doesn't use photography as a means of producing a realistic image. The photograph itself is the subject matter. I don't believe any of his contemporaries have explored this in such an interesting way.
Boring.
I agree with Jerry Saltz: Richter is vastly overrated.
I believe Saltz is vastly overrated, especially after reading his so-called "Richter Resolution". Anyhow, thank you for tuning in!
Who isn't overrated?
Never heard of Saltz.
Definitely heard of Richter.
Everyone has an opinion 😉
