Gerhard Richter: Seascapes

At Guggenheim Exhibitions, *Gerhard Richter: Seascapes* presents the artist’s ocean paintings as studies in image-making as much as in nature. Richter works from photographic sources, then blurs and reworks the surface until the horizon line feels both factual and unstable. In New York, where Richter’s paintings have long circulated through major museum and gallery contexts, this focused presentation reads as a succinct chapter in the city’s ongoing relationship to postwar European painting. One clear observation: the restraint is the point, and it holds.
