Von der hinteren Coverseite

Divided, mirrored, repeated: a limitless sequence created by Gerhard Richter from an original oil painting ' Nature/Structure. There is no more to say. In my pictures I reduce to that. But "reduce" is the wrong word, because these are not simplifi cations. I can't verbalize what I am working on: to me, it is many-layered by defi nition, it is what is more important, what is more true' Gerhard Richter
