Gerhard Richter, born 1932, is a German Contemporary artist. Richter received his BA from the Dresden Academy of Arts. 2 months before the building of the Berlin Wall, Richter escaped from East to West Germany. In West Germany he studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf with Sigmar Polke and Konrad Lueg. The three introduced the term Kapitalistischer Realismus (Capitalistic Realism) as an anti-style of art. Gerhard Richter has been shown in museums and galleries all over the world. His fourth retrospective, Gerhard Richter: 40 Years of Painting, curated by Robert Storr, opened at New York's Museum of Modern Art in February 2002, then traveled to Chicago, San Francisco, and Washington, DC.
