Event Details
A talk by Cliff Lauson and Eva Ruschkowski.
This December, you are invited to a conversation between Cliff Lauson, Senior Curator at the Hayward Gallery, and Eva Ruschkowski, HENI Senior Art Researcher, centred around the Hayward Gallery’s current exhibition Gerhard Richter: Drawings, 1999-2021. Located in the HENI Project Space, the exhibition marks the first presentation of work by Gerhard Richter in a major London gallery in a decade, bringing together more than 60 works on paper.
The talk will focus on the life and work of legendary contemporary artist Gerhard Richter and his drawing practice. Guests may join us at the gallery or online, with the opportunity to join the conversation and ask their own questions. Those joining us at the gallery will have exclusive uninterrupted access to the gallery after the talk to explore the works.
To accompany the exhibition, HENI have published a new monograph devoted to Richter’s recent drawings, illustrating 80 works produced between 1999 and 2021. Visitors to the event will be able to purchase the book at a discounted rate.
