Richter talks about how he grew up in East Germany where he attended Dresden's art school[7][8] and escaped to the other side just before the Berlin Wall was built[9][10] in this documentary. His entire artistic career is told in the documentary "Gerhardt Richter" made around the time of his enormously successful American retrospective at MOMA and SFMOMA[11][12] entitled "40 Years of Paintings."[13] The movie follows the artist at his house in Cologne, where he is undergoing a period of reflection and preparation before moving on to another series of paintings.[5][14]
