Gerhard Richter is also displaying four photo versions of the painting in the original format. The pieces trace back to four photographs taken by a prisoner at the Birkenau Concentration Camp in August 1944
. Gerhard Richter had already been studying the pictures for a number of years before he decided to use them as the basis for new paintings last year. In the end, he took an abstract approach to the subject. He had previously explored the National Socialist Holocaust in 1967 and 1997. The materials for these non-realised projects are documented in ATLAS

This dialogue between painting and photography will be complemented by further images, mirrors and photographic editions. While the first room will contain reflections, sequences and reproductions, the second exhibition room in Dresden will initially showcase the ‘180 Farben (301/1-20)’ colour chart from 1971. The artist presented this 20-part work to the Gerhard Richter Archive as a gift in 2013. Other exhibits, including the recently created ‘Ella’ piece from 2014, which depicts Richter’s daughter and the still life ‘Tulips’ from 1995, illustrate the range of Richter’s œuvre
.
The rooms containing the works by Gerhard Richter are an integral part of the New Masters’ Gallery walking tour on the second floor of the Albertinum.
