14 Feb 45 2002 — Fine Art

The date in 14 Feb 45 2002 points to a moment in the second world war. Gerhard Richter often builds paintings out of memory and out of paint that is moved across the canvas. The image stays open, with no single thing named on it.

This fine art print comes with a frame in white, wood, dark wood or black. The frame edge sits against the picture and gives the image a clear line on the wall. The matte surface keeps the tones soft.

In a kitchen with a pale tabletop the grey shifts as you move past. From the doorway the picture reads as a block of tone, closer up the brush marks show through. The date stays on the wall beside the kettle and the clock.
