Richter:

Series of 7 paintings, oil on canvas, range of sizes, 1997/98

These portraits feature Gerhard Richter, one of Germany's leading contemporary painters. Appropriating not only his image but also his 'style', the series can simultaneously be seen as a critical evaluation of Richter's legacy and a momento mori - presenting a stranger caught in the slow process of aging.

Richter's preoccupation with uncertainty, transience and the blurring of boundaries has, in turn, kindled Schenk's fascination with iridescence.
