Of course he's virtually an old master and he's beyond "emerging" or "underknown", but just as I absolutely had to make the pilgrimage itself this week, I couldn't resist putting up these very imperfect detail images from the current Gerhard Richter show at Marion Goodman in midtown.

There is nothing else I can add except to recommend this magnificent installation to anyone who can make it to 57th Street before the 14th of this month. You won't be disappointed.
