Gerhard Richter1932 · German“To represent things, to adopt a vision, is what makes us human; art is about giving meaning and giving form to that meaning. It is like the religious search for God.”

Where to see it

Saint Louis Art Museum

St. Louis, United States

The painting depicts Richter’s daughter from behind in a moment of turning, blurring the boundary between private and public, posed yet remote; the photographic realism invites the viewer to imagine what she sees rather than what we see.
