"The two works offered at the house's 20th/21st Century Evening Sale in London on March 5 include Schober (Haybarn) from 1984, one of the artist's largest landscape photo-paintings, with presale expectations in the region of £6 million ($8.2 million). Formerly in in the collection of New York real estate developers Emily and Jerry Spiegel, who acquired the work from dealer Marian Goodman in 1985, the canvas sold at Christie's New York in 2017 for $6.97 million to the current owner."
"According to Katharine Arnold, vice chairman, 20th and 21st century art at Christie's, the work was made shortly after Richter married his second wife, Isa Genzken, and moved from Düsseldorf to Cologne, where he established a new studio. The artist was "playing with historic tropes of landscape painting," from Casper David Friedrich to Edvard Munch and Claude Monet, Arnold said."
Three Gerhard Richter paintings will appear at Christie's evening sales in London on March 5 and in Hong Kong on March 27. London offerings include Schober (Haybarn), a large 1984 landscape photo-painting with presale expectations near £6 million, and a fresh-to-market 1991 Abstraktes Bild estimated at £4.5–6.5 million. Schober has provenance from Emily and Jerry Spiegel and sold at Christie's New York in 2017 for $6.97 million. A larger 1991 Abstraktes Bild, nearly 80 inches tall, is estimated at HK$78–98 million and coincides with Art Basel Hong Kong and Christie's Asia events.
