GERHARD RICHTER
ERINNERUNGEN AN EINEN ANFANG

On November 17, 1964, Galerie René Block opened Gerhard Richter's first solo exhibition in Berlin entitled „Bilder des Kapitalistischen Realismus“. Early works by the artist were shown, including „Familie“ (1964), „Arnold Bode“ (1964), „Terese Andeszka“ (1964) and „Stukas“ (1964). To accompany the exhibition, his first catalogue was published. To mark the 60th anniversary of our first Gerhard Richter exhibition, we are showing early prints and archive material by and about Gerhard Richter at Prager Straße 5. The exhibition is accompanied by more recent editions by Edition Block.

ENDRE TÓT
WHICH IS THE RIGHT DIRECTION?
April 8 – June 25, 2025

Endre Tót is one of the most important artists of conceptual art and the mail art movement. His actions as well as his text and photographic works are characterized by subversive wordplay and ironic exaggerations that undermine the logic of political and artistic systems. Since the beginning of his artistic career, Tót has relied on radical reductions: Zeros, missing signs and ironic statements became his trademark and served him as a subtle form of resistance against ideological appropriation. In the 1970s, Tót gained international recognition. His mail art activities in particular helped him to overcome his artistic isolation in Hungary and to network with the international Fluxus movement by post. In 1978, he came to West Berlin following a DAAD scholarship and then emigrated to Germany, finally escaping state censorship in Hungary. In 1979, René Block exhibited him for the first time in his gallery in Berlin – the beginning of a collaboration that continues to this day. We are delighted to present two works that the artist reissued for the exhibition WHICH IS THE RIGHT DIRECTION?
