Corinna Belz – Gerhard Richter Painting (2012)

“A document of Gerhard Richter’s creative process, juxtaposed with intimate conversations (with his critics, his collaborators, and his American gallerist Marian Goodman) and rare archive material.

From our fly-on-the-wall perspective, we watch the 79-year-old create a series of large-scale abstract canvasses, using fat brushes and a massive squeegee to apply (and then scrape off) layer after layer of brightly colored paint. This mesmerizing footage of a highly charged process of creation and destruction turns Belz’s portrait of an artist into a work of art itself.”
