I was blessed recently not only to be in Paris, but to be there when the Fondation Louis Vuitton had on display a major exhibit of the works of Gerhard Richter. To say “major” is an understatement: it had dozens and dozens of work from every era he has been making art, from the 1960s until now. As a big fan of Richter, I could hardly believe the paintings that they had on display, from Tisch, 1962 to Birkenau, 2014 (seen above). It was incredible.
If you can get to Paris by 02.03.2026, you owe it to yourself to go. You can read more about the exhibit, here. Of course the building itself is fantastic, thanks for Frank Gehry:
There’s so much great art to see in Paris, but I’d recommend you check out what the good folks at Louis Vuitton have on display. Before this they had a big David Hockney show too. Have some champagne and cake in the dining area after the show: you’ll be glad you did.
P.S. Here’s a good review of the show with many more images from it too.
