Abdallah (Abdallah)
2010
This second iteration of 'Abdallah' from 2010 demonstrates Richter's practice of producing works in series or pairs, questioning the uniqueness of the art object. Like its counterpart, it employs lacquer applied behind glass and mounted on Alu-Dibond, yielding a surface that shifts with ambient light and the viewer's position. The duplication invites comparison between two ostensibly identical works, highlighting subtle differences in color, opacity, or reflectivity. This seriality connects to Richter's broader conceptual interest in repetition and photographic reproducibility. The shared title further emphasizes the tension between individuality and multiplication central to his oeuvre.
