No. 606 of 800 copies, signed in ballpoint pen on the last page and bearing a stamped number. - Butin 159. - Miess 265 a. - Featuring 54 full-page and 54 small-format colour illustrations from the ‘November’ series of 2008. This is a series of works in ink and petrol on paper, in which Richter employs various techniques to manipulate the consistency of the ink and its flow on highly absorbent paper. This creates two related images on the front and back of each of the 27 sheets. For the artist’s book, the artist produced a complete set of facsimiles, with each pair arranged on both sides of a single sheet.
