Lot Essay

'Because we were so different, we didn’t compete with each other. I always appreciated the way he could create something that seemed so silent. That was all foreign to me… We could really just speak about painting. The main thing was about the surface of colour or the proportion of colour'
(G. Richter talking about Blinky Palemro, D. Elger, Gerhard Richter, A Life in Painting, Chicago 2009, p. 182).
