Offset Lithograph Signed in plate, Richter, X '66. Elizabeth 1 (1966) by Gerhard Richter is an offset lithograph that exemplifies his early interest in blurring photographic images to interrogate perception and memory. The work reproduces a press photo of Queen Elizabeth II, rendered in hazy greyscale that obscures facial detail and elevates the ordinary into an enigmatic icon. By softening the image to near abstraction, Richter transforms a familiar media portrait into a contemplative meditation on visibility, recognition, and the transient nature of photographic truth. Signed in plate, edition of 50.

What is Gestural?
Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
