Gerhard Richter Painting

In the spring of 2009, legendary German painter Gerhard Richter granted filmmaker Corinna Belz insider access to his studio while working on a series of large-scale, colorful abstract paintings. This remarkable film documenting the artist at work, painting passionately to classical music and manipulating each wet canvas with squeegees of varying sizes, offers viewers a fly-on-the-wall perspective of Richter’s highly adrenalized and intense process of creation. Richter and non-Richter fans alike will leave this film with immense respect and admiration for one of contemporary art’s greatest living artists.
