Of course… Gerhard Richter’s 11 Panes, 2004 as an extension of his photopaintings is as pure and simple in material as it is in form.
We are reflected and refracted eleven times over, and with each blurred passing person, his work takes on a new subject and life.
This young, technologically inclined visitor certainly applies her presence in this work, and has taken it upon herself to bring his work up to date, by using it to take a ‘mirror selfie.’
But maybe… a true fan of Richter’s work would take Mirror Painting (Grey), 1991 placed strategically across the room as a dorky, yet exciting opportunity to pose as Emma.
