A Major Survey. The exhibition will feature more than 25 large-format paintings and a selection from a series of more than 400 small format works. This is the first U.S. museum exhibition for this acclaimed contemporary German artist.
Daniel Richter: A Major Survey is the first U.S. museum exhibition for this
acclaimed contemporary German artist. Curated by the Denver Art Museum's Christoph
Heinrich, the exhibition will feature more than 25 large-format paintings and a
selection from a series of more than 400 small format works. "This introduction of
Richter's work to Denver and the U.S. museum community follows a surge of
international interest in contemporary German painting, driven in part by the fall
of the Berlin Wall as well as an overall saturation with electronically-generated
images," Heinrich said.
"Richter's sense of humor and vigorous celebration of
painting come through in this work, and he never lets us forget the continuous
thread that runs through the history of painting." Daniel Richter will be at the
Museum on October 2 as part of the Logan Lecture series. Daniel Richter: A Major
Survey will be on view October 4, 2008 through January 11, 2009.
