Lot Essay

This work is included in The Gerhard Richter Online Catalogue Raisonné as 12.Nov.88.

“It is more exciting with the abstract ones, and it goes faster. It has an effect similar to my earlier enthusiasm for developing photos in the darkroom. Something is created there all by itself, which one only has to observe in order to intervene at the right moment.” ((G. Richter in D. Schwarz, Gerhard Richter Aquarelle/Watercolors 1964-1997, Dusseldorf, Kunstmuseum Winterthur, 1999, p. 24)
