Gerhard Richter – Rare Colour Offset Lithograph

1975

This beautiful work by dates from 1975 and exemplifies the artist’s unique approach to perception, abstraction, and photographic imagery.

The print is hand-signed and dated in pencil by Gerhard Richter on the right under the image, and numbered in pencil on the left, confirming its authenticity.

The work is a glossy color offset lithograph on chromo cardboard. The composition suggests a blurred, almost painterly vision of a sky with sparks, characteristic of Richter’s ongoing exploration of the boundary between painting and photography.

Created in the mid-1970s, a pivotal period in his career, this work reflects his ongoing investigation into blurred imagery and the instability of visual truth.

Literature : Butin 25/32.

The work is professionally framed in our own frame-shop, in a custom-made white wooden frame with Plexiglas® Optical HC, offering UV protection, scratch resistance, and minimal reflection.

Size framed : approx. 55 x 70 cm.
