Gerhard Richter was born in 1932 in Dresden, Saxony. He is a German visual artist and one of the pioneers of the New European Painting that has emerged in the second half of the twentieth century. Richter has produced abstract as well as photorealistic paintings, and also photographs and glass pieces. His art follows the examples of Picasso and Jean Arp in undermining the concept of the artist's obligation to maintain a single cohesive style. Gerhard Richter lives and works in Cologne.

Features and remarks
You are bidding here on an original print by Gerhard Richter from 2015.
The edition is based on a photograph by Inge-Maria Peters from 1966 and is linked to Richter’s best-known series, “18 October 1977”.
The series is interpreted as a form of modern history painting and refers to the “Night of Death at Stammheim”, when the imprisoned leaders of the Red Army Faction (RAF) – Andreas Baader, Gudrun Ensslin and Jan-Carl Raspe – took their own lives whilst in custody.
„Gerhard Richter’s edition for our anniversary is itself a kind of retrospective: In it, he juxtaposes his ‘Portrait of Youth’ – which chronologically marks the beginning of his 1988 RAF cycle – with a photograph: a print mounted on aluminium Dibond from the original negative of the portrait of Ulrike Meinhof that Richter had copied from a reproduction in *Stern* at the Hamburg Press Archive, and which served as the model for his painting. The photographer Inge-Maria Peters (who co-signed the edition) took the portrait on 10 October 1966 for the ‘Konkret’ column that Meinhof was writing at the time, before she went underground as a terrorist four years later.“
