Benjamin Katz : Gerhard Richter at work

Description

Through the discreet lens of his Leica, Benjamin Katz ventures into Gerhard Richter's secret studio-a titan of contemporary painting laid bare. Each hand-developed frame captures a suspended moment where the artist converses with his thoughts, doubts, and flashes of genius. Between shadows and light, these images weave a tale of introspection, creative solitude, and passion tinged with melancholy. Here, Richter emerges not as an icon, but as a vulnerable man-wry, sometimes wistful, always fiercely alive. These portraits become a visual poem on the very act of creation, a tribute to the fragile strength of a legendary artist. A rare descent into the heart of the work, beyond myth, closer to the soul.
