Gerhard Richter — 8.4.2023
Gerhard Richter

8.4.2023

2023

This 2023 collage on paper demonstrates Richter's sustained engagement with assemblage as a mode of pictorial inquiry in his ninth decade. Collage allows Richter to recontextualize found imagery, printed materials, and painted fragments, echoing his lifelong investigation into the relationship between photography and painting. The date title situates the work within his habitual practice of treating each day's output as a document of creative thought. These late collages are regarded as some of his most spontaneous and personal works, reflecting a freedom from the grand-scale demands of his earlier canonical paintings.
