Sils Maria
A richly layered work by Gerhard Richter, *Sils Maria* combines oil paint applied directly onto a chromogenic print, merging photographic imagery with gestural abstraction. The result is a tension between the precise, mechanical nature of photography and the fluid, expressive quality of painted marks. Housed in the artist's own frame, the work underscores Richter's ongoing investigation into the boundaries between painting and image-making.
