David Zwirner
In five large canvases (and sixteen accompanying studies), Richter’s disjointed universe features mundane architecture, scattered icons and humanlike figures. The works, typically, evade complete understanding. Maybe they’re a cynic’s allegorized present: radioactive zombies hunting through crumbling cities while neon-colored narcissists dance silently. But even that interpretation seems limiting given Richter’s works’ saturation of meanings. Closes 5/3.
