Gerhard Richter — 5.4.2023
Gerhard Richter

5.4.2023

2023

This 2023 collage represents Richter's late-career engagement with intimate, small-scale works on paper, a practice he has pursued with remarkable consistency into his nineties. The work employs torn and assembled paper fragments, reflecting his longstanding interest in the tension between chance and control. Collage allows Richter to explore compositional relationships without the physical demands of large-scale painting. Dated works like this one signal his diary-like approach to art-making, treating each piece as a record of a specific moment in time.
