Offset printing on paper. Edition of 250 + 3 copies signed by Gerhard Richter with "Joseph Beuys" or "Georg Baselitz" + 2 proof prints + 2 unsigned copies. Printed by Kirschbaum Laserscan, Düsseldorf; Published by Association for the Promotion of Modern Art at the Mönchehaus Museum of Modern Art, Goslar. The edition is based on a reversed photograph of the oil painting "Candle" from 1982 (catalogue raisonné Elger 2013 no. 512-1). Catalogue raisonné Butin/Olbricht/Gronert 2014 no. 64; Catalogue raisonné Butin/Olbricht/Gronert 2004 no. 64; Catalogue raisonné Butin 1993 no. 54. // "Kerze I" is Gerhard Richter's iconic offset print reproducing his celebrated candle painting, depicting a single lit candle against a muted olive-green background. The characteristic soft-focus blur dissolves the boundary between photographic reproduction and painterly representation, creating an image that hovers between meditative stillness and philosophical inquiry. Published in a signed edition of 250, this 1988 print extends Richter's exploration of vanitas imagery and the cultural resonance of candlelight as a symbol of transience, spirituality, and the enduring power of traditional pictorial subjects within contemporary art practice.

What is Gestural?
Artwork by Joan Mitchell

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.
