48 Portraits
Series of 48 portrait images of Gerhard Richter
48 Portraits is a group of works by the German painter Gerhard Richter. In the years 1971–1972 Richter created a series of portraits of personalities who influenced modernity in a photorealistic manner. They all portray exclusively men. Oriented towards a central imaginary observer, they give the impression of a modern painted frieze of portrait heads.[1] Richter participated in the 1972 edition of the Venice Biennale with this work.[2] They are exhibited in the Museum Ludwig in Cologne.[3]
The series includes portraits of the following persons:
