2023
This diptych from 2023 represents Richter's late-career exploration of drawing as an intimate, meditative practice, combining colored ink and pencil on paper across two related sheets. The date-based title, a consistent convention in Richter's work, anchors the piece in the artist's daily studio routine and diary-like approach to mark-making. The use of colored ink introduces fluid, unpredictable gesture while pencil offers precise linear counterpoint, creating a layered dialogue between control and chance. As a two-part work, it invites comparison between the two sheets, exploring how similar impulses yield subtly different outcomes over successive days.
