Workshops

Every day in the Auditorium between 2 pm and 6 pm

Roll the coloured cubes, tossing them like dice, to create your grid, just like Gerhard Richter’s “1024 Colors”! This fun, creative workshop encourages children to experiment with colour combinations by playing with coloured cubes, then creating grids with markers, discovering how Richter used happenstance in his creative process. Younger children are invited to experiment with colour at their own pace.

To spread the exhibition’s message further, the Fondation is showing the documentary Gerhard Richter Painting every day during the school holidays. In 2009, Gerhard Richter opened his studio to director Corina Belz, who filmed the creation of a series of large-scale abstract paintings. The documentary is a testament to the physical demands of this contemporary artist’s work.
