What happens when the photograph is transformed into a painted image? Gerhard Richter's portraits, in their conflation of handmade and mechanical processes, question the status of both painting and photography in contemporary art. With papers by leading academics and curators this study day, chaired by Paul Moorhouse, curator of the exhibition, considers various aspects of the artist's practice. Speakers include Alex Danchev, Dr Wiebke Leister and Dr Craig Smith.
Tickets: £35/25 concessions and Gallery Supporters. Includes entry to the exhibition.
