Description from the seller
Gerhard Richter (born 09.02.1932, Dresden)
“Seascape 1969”
Collage made from a highly pigmented color print and a matching special-edition postage stamp bearing a first-day cancellation, based on the well-known 1969 oil painting.
Beginning in 1969, the German artist Gerhard Richter created a celebrated series of 25 photorealistic landscapes titled Seascape, exploring in depth the interplay of sea, sky, light, and clouds. Richter used his own photographs as references to depict an ostensibly objective reality.
Through a delicate smearing technique (the characteristic Richter blur) and, in some cases, artificial composites—such as combining two different photographs of sky and sea—he dissolved the boundary between photography and painting.
The high-quality art print is mounted behind a mat, with an opening of approx. 20 x 20 cm.
The attached corner piece of the Deutsche Bundespost special-edition postage stamp from 2013 bears the printed signature “Richter” along its lower edge and the first-day cancellation dated 01.07.2013.
In very good condition!!
