Gerhard Richter 'Panorama' at the Centre Pompidou

Posted 6 June 2012

This touring retrospective of the world’s greatest living painter opens to the public at the Pompidou today, after its inaugural London season at the Tate. Panorama brings together a selection of 150 major works by Gerhard Richter. The artist has been fully involved in the original design conceived specifically for the exhibition which offers a double insight, both chronological and thematic, into his career from the 1960s until his most recent works. “I pursue no objectives, no system, no tendency; I have no programme, no style, no direction. I like the indefinite, the boundless. I like continual uncertainty.” (And from tomorrow the Louvre presents in parallel ‘Gerhard Richter: Drawings & Other Works on Paper, 1957-2008’ in the Mollien rooms of the Prints and Drawings Department.)
Until 24 Sep.
