Gerhard Richter: 4 Decades

Gerhard Richter's career as a painter began after his departure from East Germany in 1961. He is now considered 'Europe's greatest modern painter'. In 2002 the Museum of Modern Art in New York held the first major retrospective of his work in the U.S. Curator Robert Storr and the artist selected 188 paintings for the show. Before the opening they visit the exhibition and discuss this remarkable body of work. The ensuing dialogue reveals Richter's motivations, approach and personality.
