Exhibition Tour—Gerhard Richter: Painting After All

This video is part of Exhibition Tours, a series exploring select Met exhibitions.

Take a tour through Gerhard Richter: Painting After All, an exhibition at The Met Breuer devoted to one of the greatest artists of our time. The exhibition considers Richter's six-decade-long preoccupation with the dual means of representation and abstraction to explore the material, conceptual, and historical implications of painting. Spanning the entirety of Richter's prolific and innovative career, the exhibition presents over one hundred works that focus on his specific commitment to the medium, as well as his related interests in photography, digital reproduction, and sculpture.
