Gerhard Richter

24.5.2023 (2)

2023

This second drawing from May 24, 2023 reinforces the impression of an artist deeply committed to sustained daily creative output even at an advanced age. The pairing of ink with pencil creates a dynamic between wet and dry media, allowing Richter to exploit contrasting qualities of line, tone, and mark density on a single sheet. Like its companion works from the same date, it is titled purely by date and sequence number, stripping away conventional titling to foreground time and process. This economy of naming reflects Richter's broader conceptual rigor, familiar from his catalogue system that has meticulously documented his output for decades.
