This April 2023 collage exemplifies Richter's embracement of the small-scale, hand-held format as a vehicle for concentrated artistic thought. Collage permits Richter to juxtapose heterogeneous materials — photographic clippings, colored papers, painted surfaces — in ways that echo his lifelong interrogation of representation and abstraction. The work participates in a long tradition of collage as avant-garde practice while remaining distinctly personal and reflective in character. It stands as evidence of Richter's undiminished creative vitality and his continued ability to find new expressive territory within familiar media.
