NIETZSCHE-HAUS | SEGANTINI MUSEUM | HAUSER & WIRTH ST. MORITZ
Gerhard Richter, born in 1932, is one of the most important and celebrated artists of our time. His works can be found in international collections and have been exhibited in numerous museums and galleries in Europe and the United States. Richter first vacationed in the Swiss Alpine village Sils, located in the Upper Engadin region, in 1989 and has regularly visited the location during both summer and winter holidays for over 25 years. Presented across three venues in the Upper Engadin – Nietzsche-Haus in Sils and the Segantini Museum and Hauser & Wirth in St. Moritz – ‘Gerhard Richter: Engadin’ is the first exhibition to explore Richter’s deep connection with the Alpine valley landscape. More than seventy works from museums and private collections – including paintings, overpainted photographs, drawings and objects – are testament to the artist’s fascination with the Upper Engadin valley.
