Zaun (Fence)
A photorealistic rendering of a weathered wooden fence, this work exemplifies Richter's masterful ability to blur the boundary between painting and photography, inviting the viewer to question perception and representation. The ordinary, mundane subject is elevated through Richter's meticulous technique, transforming a simple barrier into a meditation on memory, distance, and the passage of time. Published as a limited edition of 100 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Museum Ludwig in Cologne, this signed and numbered print stands as both a significant collectible and a testament to Richter's enduring influence on contemporary art.
