National Portrait Gallery, Gerhard Richter Portraits Campaign

In 2009, the National Portrait Gallery London held an exhibition of portraits by the German painter Gerhard Richter some of which had never been presented before. The exhibition focused on the early black-and-white paintings derived from magazine titles, and portraits from Richter’s private environment. A painting of his daughter was used as the key visual for the exhibition and featured on the catalogue cover, posters and invites.
