A self-thought photographer, Richter became interested in the medium very early in his life.
His work since the late 1960s has focused primarily on the female nude and he has since become an unquestionable master of this ‘genre’ in the history of Czech, post-war photography.

Having been published and often exhibited during the 1970s, Richter’s work has recently gained renewed attention with a number of solo shows in his native country.

Working under the influence of names such as Frantisek Dritkol, Richter, nevertheless has been able to formulate his own approach to the nude form. At once monumental and fragile, his often highly abstracted photographs depict the body as sublime but ultimately transient phenomena.
