About the Item
"Vierwaldstätter See" (Lake Lucerne) is a striking rendition within Gerhard Richter's iconic seascape series. Born in 1968, this piece is emblematic of Richter's artistic journey exploring the seascape genre from the late 1960s through the 1970s.
Within the pantheon of Richter's seascapes, "Vierwaldstätter See" displays his propensity for diversity in size, format, color palette, and style. This artwork offers a contemplative view of Lake Lucerne, a masterpiece of abstraction where the horizon subtly materializes, drawing viewers into its enigmatic allure. Richter's meticulous photorealistic representation of the skies harmoniously contrasts the mysterious luminescence of the water below.
In a recurring theme within Richter's seascapes, vast skies often dominate, occasionally surpassing the expanse of the lake itself. The play of clouds on the horizon adds an epic dimension to the scene, inviting viewers to ponder the complexities of the seascape genre.
Richter's "Vierwaldstätter See" presents an intricate fusion of two distinct photographs, skillfully crafted into an idealized, illusory composition. This exceptional work invites us to partake in a captivating realm where perspective and light conspire to create a transcendent, perfect, and beautifully sublime narrative—a testament to Richter's artistic mastery and his profound impact on the seascape tradition.
