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.

Until the opening of the new museum, the works will be presented at the Neue Nationalgalerie. Not all 100 will be on display at the same time, they will be rotated. Alongside the "Birkenau" series, there are currently several other works from various phases of Richter's career including a large group of overpainted photographs. There's also "4900 Colours" from 2007, which is composed of 196 individual square panels, each of which is subdivided into 25 color squares. The exhibition was realized in close collaboration with the artist, the museum said.
