Gerhard Richter
Gerhard Richter: Acht Grau (Signed)
Gerhard Richter's signed copy of "Acht Grau" represents the German artist's engagement with the book as an artistic medium and object of collection. Published in 2002, this volume documents Richter's exploration of gray tones, a subject central to his practice of systematic investigation and color theory. The artist's inscription in black ballpoint pen on the flyleaf personalizes this otherwise mass-produced book, transforming it into a unique work that bridges the gap between documentation and art object.
