Artist a day!
GERHARD RICHTER
(born 1932)
Gerhard Richter is a German painter artist. Richter has created abstract and photorealistic paintings. He also experimented with photography and sculpture glass installations.
With an estimated worth of €700 million, Richter was rated number 220 of the wealthiest 1,001 people in Germany by Manager Magazin's monthly business magazine in 2017.
His intentional lack of dedication to a single stylistic approach has often been taken as an attack on the unspoken ideologies implanted in the specific histories of painting.
“To talk about paintings is not only difficult but perhaps pointless too. You can only express in words what words are capable of expressing-- what language can communicate. Painting has nothing to do with that.”
