  Gerhard Richter's auction record stands at £30.4m for his large-scale abstract painting Abstraktes Bild (1986), sold at Sotheby’s London in 2015. The Fondation Louis Vuitton has hosted several blockbuster exhibitions, including one dedicated to Richter, which is part of a string of monographic shows on key figures of 20th- and 21st-century art. Richter recently curated the "Gerhard Richter: Panorama" exhibition at Tate Modern, marking his 90th birthday with a show in Dresden featuring works from his personal collection and museum loans, including portraits of his wife and children.
