Gerhard Richter is among the most prominent painters of the 20th and 21st centuries, with a career spanning almost 60 years. Beyond his monumental abstract and photo-realistic works, his working method, artistic processes and philosophy are less well known. The Belgian photographer Benjamin Katz captures the notoriously camera-shy artist at work.

Wilfried Wigand is a journalist and art historian whose studies focus on photography. He has published books on the history of photography and Pablo Picasso and Andy Warhol, among others.
