The Gerhard Richter show will be the last of the Met's in the Breuer building. Next time your'e there it will be part of the Frick, a giant pop up now to different large neighboring institutions.  It is a retrospective, yes, but I had trouble finding the 'there-there' . There are indeed some important works, more of the recent than earlier. but one sees a career that like Picasso's with its many style changes and different families takes some complementary narrative. Mysterious horizontal brush work is a unifying theme. Wall labels are all important as the show seems organized both by subject matter and period. It's impossible to get Florian Von Donnersmarck’s film Never Look Away out of your head which was the biopic that Richter cooperated with and then rejected but which did give some context to the life. There's a video on the Met website that is very good. These are my favorites. Go to the Met website for more images as the show is alas now closed.
