Gerhard Richter

Gerhard Richter and curator Robert Storr walk us through the artist's 2002 MoMA retrospective. The haunting and diverse collection features 188 of Richter's signature photo-realistic paintings which evoke a sense of both familiarity and dread. The discussion of the artist's motivation and vision results in a deeply honest reflection on the retrospective as well as his career as a whole.

Featuring artists such as Brice Marden, Richard Serra and Gerard Richter, 'Speaking of Abstraction: A Universal Language' presents a compelling discussion on the, oftentimes undefinable, meaning and motive behind abstract art. Filmed at the artists' studios, the Dia Center for the Arts, and the Guggenheim Museum, this portrait captures a dynamic group and their vastly unique styles.
