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 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.
