Gerhard Richter — Kanarische Landschaften II (Canary Landscapes II)
Gerhard Richter

Kanarische Landschaften II (Canary Landscapes II)

A set of photographic offset prints depicting the luminous landscapes of the Canary Islands, rendered with Richter's characteristic interplay between painterly blurring and photographic precision. The works explore the tension between representation and abstraction, capturing sweeping vistas of volcanic terrain and atmospheric light in muted, nuanced tones. Published in a limited edition of 50 by Galerie Heiner Friedrich in Munich, this numbered example bears Richter's pencil signature, attesting to the intimate, carefully considered nature of the edition.

Medium
All signed and numbered 48/50 in pencil (there were also 10 artist's proofs in Roman numerals), published by Galerie Heiner Friedrich, Munich, all framed, lacking the original white cardboard portfolio.
