Artist Challenge - Gerhard Richter

December 16th, 2016
This is Artist Challenge 112. Spanner @spanner was the winner of the last Artist Challenge but isn't able to get the next challenge prepared. So to keep the ball rolling, and since I was the runner-up on the previous challenge, Kali @kali66 and I have collaborated on challenge 112.

We want to thank everyone who participated in the previous challenge and we're excited about this Artist Challenge.

The next Artist Challenge is ...... GERHARD RICHTER

Gerhard Richter was born to Horst and Hildegard Richter in Dresden on February 9, 1932. Having married the year before, Gerhard was their first child, with a daughter, Gisela, arriving in 1936. Horst Richter, with whom Gerhard did not have a close relationship, was a teacher at a secondary school in Dresden.1 Hildegard was a bookseller and, like her father, a talented pianist. She was passionate about literature, and passed on her enthusiasm and knowledge to the young Gerhard. They were, in many respects, an average middle-class family. In an interview with Robert Storr Richter described his early family life as "simple, orderly, structured – mother playing the piano and the father earning money".

Gerhard Richter's career has spanned nearly six decades, Gerhard Richter is widely considered one of the greatest artists of our time.
