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 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.
