Gerhard Richter — 10.5.2023
Gerhard Richter

10.5.2023

2023

Created just one day before the related May 11 work, this pencil drawing underscores the sequential, diary-like rhythm of Richter's late practice. Its modest medium belies a sophisticated engagement with drawing as a primary rather than preparatory mode of artistic thinking. Richter's use of strict date-based titles refuses conventional narrative or metaphor, grounding each work in its own moment of making. The pencil medium connects to a long tradition of works-on-paper while remaining distinctly contemporary in its conceptual self-awareness.
