Gerhard Richter : Colour Charts

13 Oct 2015-16 Jan 2016

Overview

An exhibition of paintings selected from the artist's original nineteen Colour Charts produced in 1966. Presented with the support of the Gerhard Richter Archive, this is the first exhibition to feature a small but vital group of works from this series since their inaugural appearance at Galerie Friedrich & Dahlem, Munich in 1966. The exhibition will also include a group of Colour Charts painted in 1971, when Richter reexamined and expanded the series after a five-year hiatus. At once paradoxical and coalescent, the Colour Charts highlight an important moment in Richter's career and are situated across multiple leading art movements of the twentieth century.
