The museum offers an unprecedented retrospective of the German painter whose works, fed not by the traumas of history, unfold in the figurative as in abstraction. The installation "Birkenau" is thus shown for the first time in France.
Starting this Friday, the Louis-Vuitton Foundation (Paris XVIe) devotes a large-scale exhibition to one of the greatest living painters, 93 years old. His paintings are arranged in 34 rooms.
ANALYSIS. The painter's family counted Nazis and victims of the regime. Several of his paintings, exhibited in the retrospective of the Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris, refer more or less encryptedly to the dark past of Germany.
Gerhard Richter pays tribute to a retrospective of unprecedented density in Paris: more than 270 works from 60 years of work, from more than 100 international collections, from the painting that the German painter calls his first, to the one that he calls his last painting. According to its organisers, the Fondation Louis Vuitton provides Richter with its entire building: an artist's life in 34 halls.
Through 270 paintings, drawings, sculptures in steel and glass, the Louis-Vuitton Foundation in Paris is preparing to celebrate, from 17 October to 2 March 2026, one of the greatest living German artists: Gerhard Richter. A man who stopped questioning the power of painting, in a society saturated with images. In six key works, created between 1965 and 2014, La Croix L的Hebdo deciphers its multiple facets.
From 17 October to 2 March, the Louis Vuitton Foundation presents a retrospective dedicated to Gerhard Richter, a major figure in German contemporary art. More than sixty years of creation between figuration and abstraction. An exhibition in partnership with France Culture.
