At the centre of the exhibition is Richter’s 2014 series 'Birkenau', the result of the artist’s decades-long engagement with Germany’s Nazi past and the Holocaust.
'Gerhard Richter. 100 Works For Berlin' shows for the first time the long-term loan from the artist’s foundation. At the centre of the exhibition is Richter’s 2014 series Birkenau, the result of the artist’s decades-long engagement with Germany’s Nazi past and the Holocaust.
The basis of the paintings are four photos secretly taken in 1944 by Jewish prisoners at the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp, who risked their lives doing so. “Richter doesn’t give us an analysis, but allows us as viewers to form our own opinion,” Steinkamp added. In 2021, the Gerhard Richter Foundation committed a total of 100 artworks to the collection of the Nationalgalerie as a permanent loan which will be transferred to the Museum of the 20th Century that is currently being build next door and set to be completed in 2026.
Biesenbach added that the current gallery is “a bit smaller than it will be in the new building, but it’s as complex and as multi-faceted.”
