Gerhard Richter: Endgadin

Gerhard Richter: Endgadin at Hauser & Wirth, St. Moritz, documents Richter’s ongoing fascination with the Swiss Alpine Engadin surrounding the village of Sils Maria and the Fex Valley (Val Fex) in more than sixty overpainted photographs (Übermalungen), together with paintings and works on paper, drawn from a quarter century (1989–2018) of repeated visits to the region. Supplemented by complementary exhibitions at the Segantini Museum (St. Moritz) and the Nietzche-Haus (Sil Maria), this show reveals how Richter mines the pictorial possibilities offered by overlaying abstract gestural swipes, drips, and smears on small format, commercially developed snapshots of the region. Ultimately, what might appear as transgressive acts of defacement transform private memories into indelible public revelations.
