"With his long affiliation with the Kundstakademie, Gerhard Richter has sustainably contributed to giving Düsseldorf, the home of our company’s headquarters, a lively art scene at a high and internationally recognised level", says Heiko Hutmacher, Member of the Management Board of METRO GROUP, in the run-up to the exhibition. "Today, Richter is considered the most important German artist of our times. We are pleased to support such an outstanding exhibition as a main sponsor", says Hutmacher.

The paintings on display were selected in close cooperation with the artist himself. Well-known canvasses such as "Ema", the nude descending the stairs, from the year 1966, are combined with rarely seen works or paintings that have never been on display before.
