Gerhard Richter — 13.8.2023
Gerhard Richter

13.8.2023

2023

Dated the following day from its companion pieces, this drawing continues Richter's intensive summer 2023 drawing series and showcases his sustained engagement with the medium across consecutive days. The inclusion of both black and colored inks alongside pencil creates a dialogue between structured and free-form mark-making. This work exemplifies Richter's late-period interest in reducing his practice to its most essential elements — line, color, and paper. The date-based title, a longstanding convention for the artist, emphasizes process and temporal specificity over compositional narrative.

Medium
Colored ink, ink, and pencil on paper
