Sabine Moritz (born 1969 in Quedlinburg) is a German painter and graphic designer.
Sabine Moritz was born as the daughter of a chemist in East Germany. From 1973 to 1981 she lived together with her family in a high-density housing area of Lobeda in Neulobeda. Before emigrating to West Germany in 1985 she lived in Jena for 4 years. In 1988 she started her studies at the Hochschule für Gestaltung Offenbach (The Offenbach University of Art and Design) at the class of Adam Jankowski. [1] From 1991 she continued her studies at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf (Academy of Art Düsseldorf). At first she was in the class of Markus Lüpertz but changed to Gerhard Richter’s in the following year. She was the last student to be accepted to his class as he had planned to lay his teaching career to rest in 1994. [2]
In the years 1991 and 1992 she created the series of drawings Lobeda that consists of more than 100 pencil drawings. In 2009 they were discovered in the artist's studio by the curator Hans Ulrich Obrist and the publisher Walther König and subsequently published in 2010 by Buchhandlung Walther König [3] These works were shown in the Kunsthaus Sans Titre in Potsdam from August to September in 2011. Later that year the book Jena, Düsseldorf was published, again by Walther König.
Sabine Moritz has been married to her former teacher, Gerhard Richter, since 1995. They have three children and live in Cologne.
Gerhard Richter has used his wife in many paintings. Two paintings – Reader (CR: 799-1 und 804) [4] and Small Bather (CR: 815-1) [5] from 1994 – depict her, although she remains anonymous through the non-descriptive titles. Both these paintings were made from a photographic original just as Richter has created throughout his artistic career. They also both allude to famous paintings: Reader draws influences from Jan Vermeer's Woman in Blue Reading a Letter (1663/64) and Jean-Honoré Fragonard's A Young Girl Reading (c. 1776). The Small Bather theme has an iconic predecessor in Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres’ painting with the same title.
In 1995 Richter painted a series, which depict his wife with their eldest son Moritz as an infant known under the title S. with Child (CR: 827-1 bis 827-8). These works can closely be associated with the Madonna with Child topos. [6]
Richter's portrait of his wife Head (sketch) was sold at auction for US$2,33 million by Christie's in 2010. [7]

Birkenau is a cycle of four paintings by Gerhard Richter from 2014. The name Birkenau refers to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. Richter transferred four photographs, presumably taken by concentration camp inmate Alberto Errera, depicting the burning of the bodies of murdered Jews in a forest and naked women on the way to the gas chamber, onto four canvases. He gradually painted over the figurative images with a brush and the colors black, gray, green and red and further processed them with a squeegee.
