The David Zwirner Gallery’s exhibition of recent work by Gerhard Richter is meant to be a swan song, but it lands like a clarion call. To what, it’s hard to say, because in old age Mr. Richter still speaks so many artistic languages; cold and hot, imposing  and intimate, personal and planetary. It’s all abstract, and it’s all awesome.
