„Das Jahr 2012 stand ganz im Zeichen Gerhard Richters. So konnte man ihm im Kino bei der Arbeit bei der Arbeit über die Schulter schauen – so der bereits erstmals im September 2011 präsentierte Kinofilm Painting von Corinna Belz .., was einherging mit dem beachtlichen Erfolg auf dem secondary market, dem Auktionsmarkt, wo seine vornehmlich abstrakten Gemälde dank Höchstpreisen zu Kunstmarktlieblingen avancierten.”
„Gerade ein Gemälde scheint anders als viele andere in den letzten Jahren immer mehr mit symbolischer Bedeutung aufgeladen worden zu sein: Onkel Rudi (Abb.1), entstanden 1965. Die fotografische Vorlage entnahm Richter dem eigenen Familienalbum. Als ‚Privates öffentlich’ machen, wurde diese Vorgehensweise in der Motivauswahl der so genannten Foto-Bilder vielfach begründet. Dies zeigt sich nicht zuletzt in den Fotografien, die Richter auf Einladung der Tageszeitung „Die Welt” für eine Sonderausgabe ausdrucken ließ – und damit ist “der große Zweifler der Gegenwartskunst” erst der dritte Künstler, nach Georg Baselitz und Ellsworth Kelly, die die „Welt-Herrschaft” für einen Tag übernommen hat.”
"The year 2012 was all about Gerhard Richter. It was possible to watch him at work in the cinema - for example, the cinema film Painting by Corinna Belz, first presented in September 2011 ... which was accompanied by considerable success on the secondary market, the auction market, where his predominantly abstract paintings became art market favourites thanks to top prices.‘
’One painting in particular, unlike many others, seems to have been increasingly charged with symbolic meaning in recent years: Uncle Rudi (fig. 1), created in 1965. Richter took the photographic model from his own family album. This approach was often justified as “publicising the private” in the choice of motifs for the so-called photo images. This can be seen not least in the photographs that Richter had printed for a special edition at the invitation of the daily newspaper ‘Die Welt’ - making ‘the great doubter of contemporary art’ only the third artist, after Georg Baselitz and Ellsworth Kelly, to take over ‘Welt/world domination’ for a day."

Presentation by Víctor Fancelli Capdevila, Digital Archivist at ORC for Connecting People part of the Workshop on New Media Art Archiving 2025, a 3-day workshop that took place in February 2025 at ZKM.
The talk and live music-led meditation session draws on sound design, psychology, neuroscience, folklore and diasporic spirituality. Studies of Air and Smoke is both an art performance and a meta-educational intervention; it is neither a concert nor a lecture. Thiago Leiros-Costa explores the dualism between being an artist and a scientist, performing both roles in the same evening and exploring their connections. The first part of the session assesses the nature of attention and awareness, and how the brain and our expectations are vital in constructing our experience of the world around us. Participants are invited to approach the second part, a musical performance, as a meditation session. Prompts and triggers given during the talk will be explored in the course of the performance. The music will range from folk to free improvisation and sound design.
