Gerhard Richter - VICTORIA I - 2003

GERHARD RICHTER (World-famous and most expensive living painter, photographer, and sculptor from Germany)


RARE ORIGINAL PRINT WITH REVERSE CERTIFICATION

The former Victoria Insurance (now ERGO Group) commissioned Gerhard Richter in 1986 to create two gigantic, abstract artworks that were to hang in the entrance area of the corporate headquarters in Düsseldorf!

In addition, the artist was commissioned, with the help of the Achenbach Edition, to produce and supervise high-quality offset lithographs for each of the works!

These pieces were intended to be given to long-serving, loyal employees as a small “thank you” on their anniversaries of service, namely the motif “Victoria I” for 25 years of service, “Victoria II” for 30 years of service!

The objects, printed by Gerhard Richter and signed and dated, were produced in limited editions; however, the information varies here; different editions are listed, ranging from 2 x 500 to 1 x 2000!

Moreover, later, without the artist’s consent, duplicates of these objects were produced, but they are smaller and of lower quality!

Here you will find one of the originals from 2003 with the accompanying certificate, which was affixed to the back of the framing by the insurer, with the motif title
