Gerhard Richter Painting
Monday, August 20, 2 p.m.
Tuesday, August 21, 2 p.m.
Wednesday, August 22, 2 p.m.

Gerhard Richter Painting is a thrilling document of Richter's creative process, juxtaposed with intimate conversations and rare archive material. From our fly-on-the-wall perspective, we watch the 79-year-old create a series of large-scale abstract canvasses, using fat brushes and a massive squeegee to apply (and then scrape off) layer after layer of brightly colored paint.
