Stadtbild Sa 1969

Gerhard Richter's "Stadtbild Sa," created in 1969, is a photorealist oil painting depicting a cityscape from an aerial perspective. The artist's signature use of grey tones creates a sense of distance and anonymity in the urban landscape. Richter's cityscapes, part of his larger body of "grey paintings," explore themes of urban life, the passage of time, and the fleeting nature of memory. The viewer is left to contemplate the city's vastness and the lives unfolding within its concrete structures.
