An ongoing assemblage of photographs made by the German painter Gerhard Richter (b. 1932) since the 1960s and exhibited since 1972. Some of the images, made by Richter himself or merely accumulated, have been used in paintings and other works. Others, ranging in subject matter from Holocaust scenes and mugshots of the Baader-Meinhof terrorist group to snaps and magazine photos, constitute a kind of random archive of Richter's times.
