Offset lithograph. Hand-signed by the artist. Skull and Candle (1995) by Gerhard Richter is an offset lithograph that captures the artist’s signature blend of photographic realism and atmospheric subtlety. Set in a dimly lit room, a single candle burns beside a skull, invoking themes of transience and mortality. The work references traditional vanitas still lifes but strips away ornate detail in favor of a modern, minimalist sensibility. Richter’s soft focus and muted palette evoke a haunting stillness, drawing the viewer into a contemplative space. Part of an edition of 500, this hand-signed print reflects Richter’s meditative approach to light, memory, and the passage of time.

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.
