Gerhard Richter
Abendstimmung

1969

About the Item

Gerhard Richter's "Abendstimmung" (Evening Mood) seascape print stands as a mesmerizing testament to his transformative exploration of the genre throughout the 1960s and 70s. Richter's journey through seascapes, from his inaugural 1968 canvas to the 1998 masterpiece held at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, encapsulates a dynamic evolution. "Abendstimmung" epitomizes Richter's dexterity in shifting sizes, formats, colors, and styles. In this abstract seascape, a subtle horizon teases the viewer, while photorealistic skies juxtapose an enigmatic luminosity. Vast, sprawling skies often dominate, with the sea's expanse occasionally rivaling it. Cloud formations ripple across the horizon, evoking the epic character of seascapes and their duality between reality and illusion. Richter's seascapes challenge tradition, fusing two distinct photographs to craft an ideal, illusory composition. The resulting surface, akin to photographs, is achieved through precise squeegee techniques and skillfully diluted pigments. "Abendstimmung" beckons viewers to immerse themselves in this captivating illusion, where perspective and light meld into a perfect, sublime, and exquisitely beautiful narrative—a testament to Richter's mastery of his craft and the boundless depths of the seascape genre.
