LOS ANGELES, CA.- The Los Angeles County Museum of Art presents Hans Richter: Encounters, the first museum exhibition to examine the evolution of German artist Hans Richters practice based on his interaction with other artists, writers, filmmakers, and composers. In Richters most significant retrospective since the 1980s, the multidisciplinary exhibition showcases 175 works by the artist, complemented by approximately sixty works by his contemporaries, including drawings, paintings, sculptures, scrolls, photographs, architectural models, ready-mades, wall reliefs, and films.
Richter helped to bring about groundbreaking advances in twentieth-century modernism, from expressionism and Dadaism to constructivism and surrealism to avant-garde film that would extend his influence to the New American Cinema of the 1960s. Timothy O. Benson, Curator of the Rifkind Center for German Expressionist Studies
