Gerhard Richter Skull and Candle — offset lithograph showing a lit candle and skull on a dark table with soft, muted lighting.

Details

Artist

Styles

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.

Artwork by Shepard Fairey

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.
