Offset print in yellow, red, blue and black after a photograph by the gallery owner Heiner Friedrich of Brigid Polk. - Signed in pencil, dated on the reverse, stamped on the reverse. Heiner Friedrich by Gerhard Richter, created in 1970, is an offset print in yellow, red, blue, and black, based on a photograph by Heiner Friedrich of Brigid Polk. The work measures 42.5 × 31.5 cm and is from an edition of 250. Rendered with a hazy, diffused quality, the portrait dissolves the facial features into a luminous blur of color and shadow. Richter’s process—translating a photograph through a grainy, layered offset technique—transforms the subject’s identity into a ghostly presence. The result is a meditation on the fragility of memory and the instability of photographic truth, capturing not the clarity of a likeness but the aura of a fading moment.

What is Capitalist Realism?
Capitalist Realism is a German form of political pop art that emerged in Cold War-era Berlin in 1963. It sought to challenge the dominance of American pop art in the Western world. The movement blended the ideologies of both pop art and socialist realism, offering a critique of consumer culture and political power.
