Meaning & Analysis

The photographic image captures two people lying in beds, their subtle smiles indicating the awareness of the camera’s presence. Giving a glimpse into the private reality of the artist, the scene strikes with a sense of intimacy and candour. Although his artistic identity originates in abstract painting, Richter is also renowned for his experimental, genre-defying approach to photography. In the late 1960s, the artist started to base his paintings on his own photographs.

Created in 1967, Hotel Diana shows how photography as a medium allows the artist to move in the direction of the mundane subject matter and engage with the questions of memory and time. As such, the artwork captures the diverse and constantly evolving nature of Richter’s oeuvre. The artist commented in the context of his practice: “‘I do not pursue any particular intentions, system, or direction. I do not have a programme, a style, a course to follow. I have brought not being interested in specialist problems, working themes, in variations towards mystery. I shy away from all restrictions, I do not know what I want, I am inconsistent, indifferent, passive; I like things that are indeterminate and boundless, and I like persistent uncertainty”.

  • Hailing from Germany, Gerhard Richter has not been confined to one visual style. A testament to versatility and artistic diversity, Richter's work spans from photorealism to abstraction and conceptual art, and his portfolio is rich in varied media. From creating bold canvases to working on glass to distort the lines between wall-based art and sculpture, Richter has honed in on the blur technique to impart an ambiguity on his creations. To this day, Richter is one of the most recognised artists of the 20th century with his art having been presented in exhibitions worldwide. His global impact underscores his legacy as a trailblazer of artistic exploration.
