Gerhard Richter Portraits
Event location: National Portrait Gallery. Ongoing event.
 Gerhard Richter is widely regarded as one of the world's leading contemporary artists: a complex figure known both for figurative work based on photographs as well as for abstract paintings.
This landmark exhibition examines Richter's portraits in unprecedented detail. Comprising key printings from international public and private collections explores this important aspect of his work and illuminates the startling range of his source material.
Covering the period from the 1960's to the present. It includes early black and white paintings made from magazine photographs, portraits based on private snapshots, and a new portrait never previously exhibited. A special installation of 49 Portraits, Richters celebrated series of historic figures, forms a centrepiece of the exhibition.
