Gerhard Richter

In 1967 Richter won the Junger Westen Prize and began
to paint the Colour Charts, Grey Paintings and Forty-Eight Portraits;
the Colour Charts are structured on a pre-established system of colour
determination, removing artistic whim; the grey paintings contain no
interpretable images but are experiments in brushstroke and the
application of paint; the portraits are images of intellectuals Richter
selected from an encyclopedia.

In 1972
Richter was chosen to represent Germany at the Venice Biennale. That
same year, he exhibited at Documenta in Kassel, where he showed again
in 1977, 1982 and 1987. At Documenta in 1982 Richter was awarded the
Arnold Bode Prize and in 1985 in Vienna the Oskar Kokoschka Prize. To
