What to expect

From October 17, 2025, the doors of the Louis Vuitton Foundation open to one of the major cultural events of the season: a masterful retrospective dedicated to Gerhard Richter, one of the most influential contemporary artists of our time. This unprecedented exhibition in Paris invites you to explore more than six decades of creation through a rich and immersive journey showcasing over 270 iconic works.

Whether it is his radiant abstract paintings, his mysteriously blurred photo-paintings, or his glass sculptural installations, each room reveals a facet of the unique universe of the German artist. For contemporary art lovers and curious minds alike, this artistic event promises to be unmissable.

An exceptional immersion into the work of Gerhard Richter

A complete and rare artistic journey

The exhibition offers a chronological and thematic voyage through Richter’s artistic evolution, from the 1960s to his very latest works from 2024. Organized into ten distinct galleries, the scenography provides a fluid reading of his oeuvre while highlighting the breaks, experiments, and constants in his approach.

You will discover his famous grey paintings, his poignant interpretations of German history (October 18, 1977), his overlays of photo and painting, as well as his abstract experiments made with a squeegee—true explosions of texture and color. The complexity and richness of a multifaceted oeuvre unfold across the rooms, revealing an artist profoundly free, balancing control and release, figuration and abstraction, memory and forgetting.

An exceptional venue for an exceptional exhibition

Hosting such a retrospective could only take place within an architectural and cultural landmark as prestigious as the Louis Vuitton Foundation. Nestled in the Bois de Boulogne in Paris’s 16th arrondissement, the Foundation, designed by Frank Gehry, is much more than a simple setting: it creates a dialogue between art, light, nature, and space.

The meeting between the building’s bold architecture and Richter’s visual universe offers a rare sensory and aesthetic experience. The layout, designed to respect the artist’s rhythm, invites contemplation and reflection. Some monumental works, such as 4900 Colours or Strip, take on a spectacular dimension here, playing with volumes and light effects offered by the Foundation’s glass structure.
