One of the most celebrated painters of the 20th and 21st centuries, Richter’s abstract and realistic paintings make use of gridded forms and are often presented in series. In the spring of 2000, Gerhard Richter began a series of paintings on photographs that he took while in Florence, Italy. While smaller than his more monumental works, these pieces unlock Richter’s process and art-making as a whole. Looking closely at the act of painting on top of photographs takes us to the heart (some might say mission) of Richter’s work — to operate in the uncomfortable intersection of photographic depiction and abstract painting.
