On a monumental scale, Richter's profoundly beautiful Große Teyde-Landschaft declares the artist's exceptional range and painterly skill. His ability to paint luminous pictures with photorealist detail is matched only by his capacity to simultaneously evoke complex ideas about the nature of representation, both of which are realized in this meditative work. A highlight of the Post-War & Contemporary Evening Sale, this lot is to be offered on 14 November 2012 in New York.
