Meaning & Analysis

The artwork confronts the viewer with an experimental vision, in which a surface of the sea seems to be reflected above the horizontal line, replacing the image of the sky. The two images of water appear to mirror one another, although their patterns and textures differ. Created in 1973, the artwork captures the bright and buoyant side of Richter’s creative practice before it moves in the direction of sombreness and monochrome a year later. 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.
