Gerhard Richter. Image and Reflection brings together some 40 works across a variety of media—including paintings, glass objects, mirror pieces, and tapestries. The focus is on the motif of mirroring as a central principle within Richter's oeuvre. The artist not only uses mirroring as a physical phenomenon—with reflective glass surfaces and actual mirrors—but also as a pictorial strategy: by repeating and multiplying structures and colours, as in his Strip paintings. The mirror installation 10 Graue Spiegel, übereinander (10 Grey Mirrors, On Top of One Another) from 2024 underscores the ongoing relevance of this theme within Richter‘s work. With a new comprehensive essay by Dieter Schwarz. The catalogue is published on the occasion of Bild und Reflexion | Image and Reflection May 15th – Jun 28th, 2025 Sies + Höke, Düsseldorf
