Offset lithograph on paper. From an open edition. Not signed. Roses (1994/2005) by Gerhard Richter is an offset lithograph that transforms a classic still life subject into a blurred, ethereal image. Featuring a bouquet of roses in a glass vase, the piece is rendered with Richter’s signature squeegee technique, which smears and distorts the composition into abstraction. The floral subject—traditionally associated with beauty and transience—is given a sense of temporality and memory, as if seen through a foggy lens or recalled in a dream. Although based on a photograph, the work blurs the line between photography and painting, echoing Richter's exploration of perception and the passage of time.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
