Gerhard Richter - Painting 2011
Considered among the world's most important living painters, the famously cranky and iconoclastic Gerhard Richter allows cameras to follow him at work in his studio and in conversation with gallerists, critics and collaborators. More
"Richter is an ideal subject to illuminate the deep fissures in the contemporary art world. His career has been a high-wire balancing act between eye-popping, colourful abstractions – seen in start-to-finish construction throughout much of the film – and enormously famous photorealist portraiture. He has also been an influential essayist on the subject of art-making and its place in the world... But the artist is no fan of the camera. Pithy, staccato barbs usher forth as his own endless self-doubt about his work and its value get transferred onto director Belz and her presence." (Toronto Film Festival) Hide
