Le point d'orgue de cette exposition est un travail majeur de l'artiste, une \u0153uvre non figurative profond\u00e9ment poignante en quatre \u00e9l\u00e9ments intitul\u00e9e \u00ab Birkenau \u00bb (WZ 937 1-4), qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9alis\u00e9e en 2014. Gerhard Richter y fait r\u00e9f\u00e9rence \u00e0 des photos qui furent prises en 1944 au camp de concentration de Birkenau par des membres du Sonderkommando juif (une des unit\u00e9s sp\u00e9ciales de d\u00e9port\u00e9s forc\u00e9s de participer au processus d'extermination). Ces documents photographiques constituent le point de d\u00e9part, la premi\u00e8re couche du tableau, repris et retravaill\u00e9 par le peintre en de nombreuses \u00e9tapes ult\u00e9rieures.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On trouve des photos des victimes de l'holocauste et de la terreur nazie \u00e0 plusieurs reprises depuis le milieu des ann\u00e9es 1960 dans l' \u00ab Atlas \u00bb de Gerhard Richter, un recueil de photos, de coupures de journaux et de croquis rassembl\u00e9s par l'artiste de 1962 jusqu'\u00e0 aujourd'hui. Des panneaux correspondants provenant de l' \u00ab Atlas \u00bb sont mis en perspective \u00e0 Baden-Baden avec les travaux de grandes dimensions sur Birkenau. Pour le seul hall d'entr\u00e9e du Bundestag \u00e0 Berlin, Richter a rassembl\u00e9 un grand nombre de photos et a tent\u00e9 de peindre des tableaux d'apr\u00e8s ce mat\u00e9riel. Toutes les premi\u00e8res tentatives \u00e9chou\u00e8rent cependant et c'est seulement dans les \u00ab tableaux de Birkenau \u00bb que l'artiste est parvenu pour la premi\u00e8re fois \u00e0 trouver une solution picturale. L'artiste est loin d'avoir mis un point final \u00e0 son travail sur ce grand th\u00e8me, comme le montre une autre adaptation des tableaux, transpos\u00e9s en photographies de m\u00eame taille, ainsi que 93 d\u00e9tails photographiques tir\u00e9s de l'\u0153uvre.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Richter a eu recours \u00e0 cette m\u00e9thode d'observation de d\u00e9tails \u00e0 plusieurs reprises. Un travail expos\u00e9, \u00ab Halifax \u00bb, datant de 1978, permet de comprendre ce processus ; il y r\u00e9interpr\u00e8te 128 d\u00e9tails de son grand tableau en noir et blanc intitul\u00e9 \u00ab Tableau abstrait \u00bb (titre ant\u00e9rieur \u00ab Halifax \u00bb, WVZ 432-5) pour en faire la repr\u00e9sentation d'une structure. Une s\u00e9rie montr\u00e9e \u00e9galement ici est particuli\u00e8rement impressionnante : \u00ab War Cut \u00bb est un travail sur les informations diffus\u00e9es au d\u00e9but de la guerre en Irak. Gerhard Richter a associ\u00e9 216 d\u00e9tails en couleur tir\u00e9s de son \u00ab Tableau abstrait \u00bb, 1987 (WVZ 648-2) \u00e0 des textes qui avaient \u00e9t\u00e9 publi\u00e9s dans ce contexte par le quotidien Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung les 20 et 21 mars 2003, les premiers jours de la guerre en Irak. Il a proc\u00e9d\u00e9 ici de mani\u00e8re strictement formelle et a cependant \u00e9tabli avec ses tableaux non figuratifs des r\u00e9f\u00e9rences \u00e9tonnantes au contenu des textes.      <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Le point de d\u00e9part de la strat\u00e9gie picturale de Gerhard Richter, o\u00f9 la r\u00e9f\u00e9rence au mod\u00e8le est toujours pr\u00e9sente, m\u00eame dans les travaux abstraits, est particuli\u00e8rement \u00e9vident lorsqu'on la replace dans le contexte d'\u0153uvres r\u00e9alis\u00e9es par d'autres artistes connus. Ces derniers sont issus pour la plupart du milieu proche de la Galerie Konrad Fischer, avec laquelle Richter \u00e9tait en \u00e9troit contact dans les ann\u00e9es 1960. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On pourra voir des chefs d'\u0153uvre abstraits de Carl Andre, Sol LeWitt, Blinky Palermo, Imi Knoebel ou Sigmar Polke. Mais Andy Warhol et les expressionnistes abstraits Clyfford Still, Adolph Gottlieb et Willem de Kooning t\u00e9moignent eux aussi de la capacit\u00e9 des artistes contemporains \u00e0 saisir l'indescriptible et repr\u00e9senter l'irrepr\u00e9sentable pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment \u00e0 l'aide de l'abstraction. Leurs travaux, parmi lesquels les impressionnantes sculptures de Sol LeWitt e de Carl Andre, montrent les diff\u00e9rentes approches des artistes et r\u00e9v\u00e8lent le fort potentiel dont dispose l'abstraction pour repr\u00e9senter la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 ou refuser tout caract\u00e8re r\u00e9aliste. L'exposition se penche \u00e9galement sur le th\u00e8me de la perception et des \u00e9motions que des formes et des couleurs \u2013 au-del\u00e0 de la repr\u00e9sentation d'objets r\u00e9els- sont \u00e0 elles seules en mesure de provoquer en nous.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Les nombreuses pi\u00e8ces expos\u00e9es provenant de la Collection Frieder Burda sont compl\u00e9t\u00e9es par des pr\u00eats d'\u0153uvres prestigieuses issues de collections et mus\u00e9es internationaux ou appartenant \u00e0 des particuliers.<br\/> <br\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Le Mus\u00e9e Frieder Burda pr\u00e9sente des \u0153uvres abstraites de Gerhard Richter.
