Student work by Gerhard Richter in Dresden is exposed – culture

So now it is being uncovered again: For three decades there have been efforts to make a mural visible again in the Dresden Hygiene Museum, which the painter Gerhard Richter left there as a student in 1956 and which was later covered over. Richter had always been against it. He strictly did not begin his catalog raisonné until his departure from Dresden and the GDR in 1961; What was before wasn’t counting.
