GERHARD RICHTER
(Dresden 1932–lives and works in Cologne)
Bagdad.
2014.
Catalogue raisonné: Online catalogue raisonné (www.gerhard-richter.com), no. 914-2.
Gerhard Richter, for whom prints have always occupied an important place in his oeuvre, decided in 2015 to create his "facsimile objects" with Heni productions.
The process involved high definition photos of his paintings, over which he had enamel paint poured onto a glass surface. These photos were thus transformed into chromatographic prints. Although the "facsimile objects" naturally reflect a combination of chance and the painstaking composition of the original, there are nevertheless differences: in part Richter wanted to present them differently, in part they show a version of a painting which no longer exists. Even when these are edition pieces based on existing paintings, the hand of the artist is nevertheless always present, since he decides on the originals to be used and the detail in each case.
At the end of the 2010s Richter began to examine the theme of the Middle East. Alongside "Bagdad", there are the series "Sinbad", "Aladin" and "Abdahlla", which also serve as originals for Richter’s "facsimile objects".
