GERHARD RICHTER, Onkel Rudi, 1988
Picture postcard 'Onkel Rudi', published by Buchhandlung Wather König, was signed by Gerhard Richter many times in the 1980s and 1990s and always on the image at the front. Between 1984 and 1998, among others, an autograph club from Bonn collected many signatures from artists, sportsmen and actors. This was done not only during signature sessions, but, as in Gerhard Richter's case, also by sending postcards and reproductions from catalogues directly to his studio with the request to sign them.
It is not known how many postcards with the image of 'Onkel Rudi' Gerhard Richter ultimately signed.
