Exhibition “Gerhard Richter 2025-26”
From October 17, 2025, to March 2, 2026, the Foundation presents a retrospective of the work of Gerhard Richter, a German painter born in Dresden in 1932 who fled to Düsseldorf in 1961 before settling in Cologne, where he still lives and works today.
Continuing its monographic exhibitions devoted to major figures in 20th- and 21st-century art—such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Joan Mitchell, Mark Rothko, and David Hockney, among others—the Foundation dedicates all of its spaces to Gerhard Richter, considered one of the most important artists of his generation and enjoying international recognition.
Presented at the Foundation's opening in 2014 with a collection of works from his collection, Gerhard Richter is the subject of a retrospective unprecedented in its scope and temporality, bringing together 275 works from 1962 to 2024—oil paintings, steel and glass sculptures, pencil and ink drawings, watercolours, and painted photographs. For the first time, an exhibition offers a comprehensive panorama covering sixty years of creation in the practice of a studio painter.
