Flieger 1964 — Fine Art

Flieger 1964 by Gerhard Richter sits on the wall above a desk. The image shows a single aircraft climbing through a pale sky, painted in thin layers with a dry brush.

Grey tones mix with a wash of blue, and the wings fade at the edges. The fine art print keeps the light greys soft on matte paper, so the paint strokes stay flat and do not shine under a desk lamp.

The frame can follow the room, with a light frame on a dark wall or a wood frame beside wooden furniture. On the landing wall at shoulder height, you notice the climbing line first, then the small brush marks as you pass by.
