Created in 1969, this pair of silkscreen prints by Gerhard Richter explores the interplay between light, shadow, and photographic representation that defined much of his early conceptual work. Numbered 3/150 and 17/150, the limited edition prints were published by Kestner Gesellschaft in Hanover as part of their annual edition series, with each work signed and dated by the artist in pencil. The diptych format of *Shadow Picture I and II* reflects Richter's ongoing investigation into perception and the relationship between painting, photography, and mechanical reproduction.
