"I do not obey any intention, system or trend; I have no programme, style or pretention. I love uncertainty, infinity and permanent insecurity."

Panorama is a retrospective exhibition devoted to Gerhard Richter, currently being held at the Centre Pompidou, . The exhibition beings together nearly 160 works from one of the major figures of contemporary painting in a chronological and thematic itinerary from the artist's beginnings in the 1960s to the present day. On show are the brilliant experiments undertaken by the painter in a variety of pictorial styles. From "photo-paintings" to abstraction, from grisaille and monochrome works to coloured charts, he reinterpreted the genres of history of art: portraits, history paintings and landscapes.
