GERHARD RICHTER, The second layer; the signature
23 November 2017 - 20 January 2018
- World première of signed catalogue pages
The exhibition "The second layer; the signature" shows the signature of Gerhard Richter in the light of a squeegee movement for the very first time. It has never been shown in this way before and therefore this exhibition is a world première. It is limited to printed matter that Gerhard Richter has provided with a signature as an extra layer on postcards and book pages. It is a gesture that can be compared to the squeegee of his oil paintings, only here readable. Any print with the artist's signature is considered a meaningful visual addition to the reproduction, since that signature has been put bluntly on a catalogue page or straight on top of the image.
