Eis (Ice)

1981

A luminous and atmospheric work on paper, Richter's *Eis (Ice)* captures the cold, translucent quality of ice through his masterful manipulation of tone and texture. The piece reflects his ongoing dialogue between representation and abstraction, evoking a sense of frozen stillness with subtle gradations of light and shadow. Situated within the tradition of works on paper spanning Turner to Cézanne, Richter demonstrates his deep engagement with the history of mark-making and the expressive potential of the medium.
