Berlin museum presents 100 works by artist Gerhard Richter

"Gerhard Richter. 100 Works for Berlin" shows for the first time the long-term loan from the artist's foundation. At the center of the exhibition is Richter's 2014 series "Birkenau," the result of the artist's decades-long engagement with Germany's Nazi past and the Holocaust.

In 2021, the Gerhard Richter Foundation committed a total of 100 artworks to the collection of the Nationalgalerie as a permanent loan which will be transferred to the Museum of the 20th Century that is currently being build next door and set to be completed in 2026. "We're building a special exhibition room for the long term loan for Gerhard Richter in the new building," said Klaus Biesenbach, the director of the Neue Nationalgalerie. Biesenbach added that the current gallery is "a bit smaller than it will be in the new building, but it's as complex and as multi-faceted."
