Gerhard Richter — 16.5.2023 (2)
Gerhard Richter

16.5.2023 (2)

2023

The second work dated May 16, 2023 demonstrates Richter's practice of producing multiple works in a single session, a method that underscores his interest in seriality and variation. By designating this as number two within the same date, Richter acknowledges the iterative nature of his drawing practice, inviting comparison between near-identical creative moments. The ink and pencil combination allows for both fluid, unpredictable lines and precise, considered marks on the paper surface. This serial approach echoes earlier bodies of work such as his color charts and photo-paintings, where repetition itself becomes a conceptual strategy.

Ink and pencil on paper
