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 Process Art?
Process Art is an artistic movement and creative approach where the focus is on the act of creation rather than the final product. The term process in this context refers to the various stages of art-making, including gathering, sorting, associating, and organizing materials and actions. This movement emphasizes the artistic journey and the human expression involved in creating art, rather than the finished piece itself. Process Art is driven by inherent motivation, intentionality, and the rationale behind the actions, viewing the creative process as the true artwork.
