From October 17, 2025 to March 2, 2026, the Louis Vuitton Foundation, or Fondation Louis Vuitton in French, presents a major retrospective of works by Gerhard Richter—one of the most influential contemporary artists—born in Dresden in 1932.

He fled East Germany for Düsseldorf in 1961 before settling in Cologne, where he currently lives and works.

 

Now, the Fondation Louis Vuitton is honoring the artist with an exceptional retrospective — unmatched both in scale and in chronological scope — featuring 275 works stretching from 1962 to 2024. 

The exhibition includes oil paintings, glass and steel sculptures, pencil and ink drawings, watercolors, and overpainted photographs.

For the first time, an exhibition will offer a comprehensive view of over six decades of Gerhard Richter’s creation - an artist whose greatest joy has always been working in his studio.
