Yeah, prior to actually seeing Richter's paintings 'for real', I had what KIS might describe as a bit of a 'pseuds' appreciation of him, which came mostly out of books about his work. Seeing them for the first time in a gallery though was one of the most incredible experiences I've had looking at a group of paintings. It was his New Paintings exhibition in 1998. Amazing. Anyone who gets a chance to see the original of his Abstraktes-Bild, See painting, really really should. Utterly incredible.
