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 abstract art?
Abstract art uses form, shape, line, and color to create a visual experience without attempting to represent external reality. The composition exists independently of the world's visual references, focusing on expressing ideas and emotions through non-representational means.
