The Fondation Louis Vuitton will present a major retrospective of Gerhard Richter, one of the most influential artists of our time. Bringing together more than 275 works spanning sixty-two years, this exhibition offers, for the first time, a complete chronological journey through Richter’s artistic evolution from his early photo-based paintings to his abstract works, overpainted photographs, glass installations, and water colors.
For decades, Richter has redefined what painting can be. His work questions perception, memory, and truth shifting between figuration and abstraction with a precision that feels both analytical and emotional. Each piece reveals his lifelong search for balance between control and chance, order and chaos.
The retrospective at Fondation Louis Vuitton goes beyond a simple showcase of masterpieces. It reflects the artist’s constant dialogue with material, light, and time qualities that align with the craftsmanship and patience seen in fine luxury creation. Every layer of paint, every reflection in glass, is an act of refinement, revealing how art and craft merge into timeless expression.
As a visitor, one doesn’t simply view his paintings; one experiences them their depth, texture, and silent intensity. In a world driven by speed, Richter’s work reminds us of the value of contemplation, imperfection, and the beauty of restraint.
