Manöver

2022

Manöver by Gerhard Richter is a signed unique edition from 2022, combining a digital print on paper with a hand-drawn felt-tip pen intervention. The composition features a soft pink ground structured by fine linear elements and disrupted by black, ink-like formations that dissolve into hazy, atmospheric zones. The defining element is the blue zigzag line drawn by Richter across the surface. Applied individually to each of the 110 impressions, this gesture transforms every work into a unique piece, merging mechanical reproduction with direct artistic intervention. The title Manöver introduces a subtle reference to themes of war and military action. The pink ground and smoky forms can be read as an abstracted sky marked by explosions and drifting clouds, aligning the work with Richter’s broader engagement with political imagery . Balancing system and spontaneity, Manöver encapsulates Gerhard Richter’s core visual language. Hand-signed, numbered, and dated, the artwork stands as a rare hybrid of print and original drawing within contemporary art.
