Gerhard Richter blurs more than images in these highlights from our current prints auction:
Another example of Richter’s use of both photographic source material in combination with his hallmark blurring method in the auction is. The German title of the work translates to the English word for “sparks,” an apt title as the image was taken from a photograph of a campfire. The subject of the work is not immediately apparent, but the title offers a clue. The perspective is uniquely photographic, but Richter’s artistic interpretation of the content makes it seem foreign and new.
. Some images from this series have been altered slightly, while others represent paintings that no longer exist. The present work is based on Richter’s 1995All three of these works are exemplary of Richter’s artistic style, and illustrate his ability to deftly adjust the degree of blurriness in his paintings, as if his hand as a painter were itself a lens.
