Herr Uecker
1964.
Oil on canvas.
Signed, titled "
Herr Uecker
" and inscribed with the dimensions on the reverse. Stretcher titled "
Herr Uecker
". 47 x 29 cm (18.5 x 11.4 in).
• Richter paints “
Herr Uecker
” - one of the early important Richter portraits.
• The first artist portrait in Richter"s oeuvre and the only painterly testimony to their joint artistic breakthrough in Düsseldorf.
• The composition of “
Herr Uecker
” gains particular tension from the balance between the slightly inpainted areas and the blank parts in the lower margin.
