In 1988, Gerhard Richter created 15 paintings based on photographs of the Red Army Faction (RAF), a German left-wing terrorist group active throughout the 1970s. Together, we will put Richter's work in historical and art historical context and discuss his unique process.

This session is led by Lauren Kaplan.
