Colour offset print on cardboard. Signed, stamped. Picture 'Ship' by Gerhard Richter, created in 1972, is a colour offset print on cardboard, measuring 67 × 76 cm, in an edition of 250. The image presents a warship enveloped in a soft, atmospheric blur, a hallmark of Richter’s photo-painting technique. The vessel becomes nearly abstract, its form softened and partially obscured, invoking themes of memory, distortion, and the unreliability of photographic representation. By blurring the boundaries between documentation and interpretation, Richter challenges the viewer’s perception and the authority of images, especially those tied to history or conflict.

What is Nouveau Realism?
Nouveau Réalisme is an artistic movement founded in 1960 by art critic Pierre Restany and painter Yves Klein during a collective exhibition at a gallery in Milan. Restany wrote the original manifesto in April 1960, proclaiming the movement. In October of that year, nine artists, including Martial Raysse, Yves Klein, Daniel Spoerri, Jean Tinguely, Arman, Pierre Restany, and three Ultra-Lettrists—Jacques de la Villeglé, François Dufrêne, and Raymond Hains—signed the declaration. In 1961, the movement expanded to include Mimmo Rotella, Niki de Saint Phalle, Gérard Deschamps, and César. The movement emphasized a return to reality in art, often incorporating everyday objects and exploring the boundaries between art and life.
