We should dig up the DeLillo story from the New Yorker that Meredith mentioned in email.
Unfortunately, I finally convinced myself to toss my New Yorker archive. Does anyone have the DVD collection?
There's also a book out by MIT professor Charity Scribner that addresses the Baader-Meinhof group and the tenuous line between leftist revolutionary activity and terrorism. She cites cultural thinkers Jean Baudrillard, Slavoj Zizek, and Alain Badiou, art/culture movements Situationism, Surrealism, Dada and there's a Richter painting on the web page.

reference from Meredith's email:
"Baader-Meinhof"
First published in New Yorker 1 April 2002, pp. 78-82.
A man and a woman meet at a museum, in a gallery of Gerhard Richter paintings of the dead Baader-Meinhof group. The story seems to concern the terrorism that strangers can do to each other, the terror of living in the modern state, along with some reactions to 'political art.' Seemingly inspired from the "Gerhard Richter: Forty Years of Painting" show that is up at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC thru May 21, 2002. Per The New Yorker the show includes a "fifteen-canvas masterpiece of history painting, about the deaths in 1977 of Baader-Meinhof terrorists who had convulsed Germany for a decade."
