This volume documents a pivotal series of 103 overpainted photographs created by Gerhard Richter in 2000, utilizing his own snapshots of Florence as a foundational canvas. By applying layers of oil paint over these images, Richter navigates the tension between representational photography and autonomous abstraction. The publication presents 100 of these works, capturing a unique intersection where the materiality of paint obscures and enhances the underlying landscape motifs.
