Produced on the same date as 11.8.2023, this second work underscores Richter's practice of working in multiples and pairs, allowing him to explore variations within a single session. The use of colored ink alongside graphite pencil creates a dialogue between chromatic warmth and monochromatic restraint. Such works on paper occupy a unique position in his oeuvre, blending the spontaneity of drawing with the chromatic sensitivity associated with his painting practice. Together, the paired August 2023 works exemplify the reflective, reduced quality that characterizes his most recent artistic output.
