Gerhard Richter — Untitled (14 Mai 2000)
Gerhard Richter

Untitled (14 Mai 2000)

2000

Gerhard Richter's "Untitled (14 Mai 2000)" exemplifies his exploration of abstraction and representation through mixed media, combining oil paint applied to a photographic base to create a work that destabilizes the viewer's perception of both mediums. The layering of gestural brushwork over photography generates visual tension between the indexical qualities of the photograph and the expressive, non-representational marks of painting. Dating from 2000, this work reflects Richter's long standing interest in how different artistic processes and materials can interrogate the nature of visibility and artistic truth.
