Cell 1988 — Fine Art

Cell 1988 by Gerhard Richter shows a pale square set in a darker field, with the edges soft and the centre quiet. A thin band of grey runs close to the bottom, and the paint looks layered and slightly uneven. The marks are made by hand, not by a grid.

This fine art print is ready to hang on arrival. The white frame gives the picture a clear edge on the wall, so the soft grey centre does not fade into the room. A white finish keeps the border simple and lets the painted field stay the focus.

It fits on a bedroom wall near a wardrobe, where the pale centre reads calm in the morning light and the dark surround stays visible from the bed.
