The Legacy of Gerhard Richter
In 2017, artist Gerhard Richter made the announcement that his latest series of paintings would be his last. At 85 years old, the physical demand of his practice was starting to take a toll. While Richter noted that he will continue to work on smaller drawings, the announcement symbolized the end of a period of painting by Richter that shaped much of the art world of the past century.
