Annunciation after Titian (P12)
2015
This monumental print by Gerhard Richter reinterprets Titian's 16th century masterpiece The Annunciation. Richter employs his signature blur effect, abstracting the original religious scene to explore the relationship between painting, photography, and historical memory. The work is a prime example of his photo painting technique, where a source image is rendered in a hazy, out of focus style. Numbered 36 from the edition of 50 and published by HENI London, this is a significant and collectible work from one of the most important living artists.
