Kreuz (Cross)
A monumental cross emerges from layers of smeared and dragged paint, rendered in Richter's signature interplay of representation and abstraction. The image hovers between clarity and dissolution, inviting contemplation of faith, mortality, and the limits of visual certainty. Richter's restrained palette and signature blurring technique transform this ancient religious symbol into a meditation on meaning itself.
