Gerhard Richter at the Tate Modern

Having become accustomed to showing in the largest museums in the world, Gerhard Richter has finally been offered a solo exhibition at the Tate Modern. Spanning five decades of creation, the event, entitled Panorama, ranges from his photo-realistic paintings to more abstract works.
Put together with the help of the Berlin Nationalgalerie and the Centre Pompidou, the exhibition also highlights the engaged side of the artist. He was one of the first to address National Socialism in his autobiographical works. He was also one of the few to address the taboo subject of terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Ultimately, this retrospective reveals the genius and versatility (from hyper-realism to abstraction) of this immense creative talent.
Open until January 8 at the Tate Modern, Summer Street, Bankside, SE1 9TG London
