"I do perceive an unchangeable basic attitude, a constant concern that runs through all my works".

Some of Gerhard Richter's Glass & Mirrors

 Richter began to use glass in his work in 1967, when he made 4 Panes of Glass."Glas Symbol (alles sehen nichts begreifen, to see everything to understand nothing)", Richter wrote in 1966 on the edge of one of the sketches limning 4 Glasscheiben. In 2002, for the Dia Art Foundation, Richter created a glass sculpture in which seven parallel panes of glass refract light and the world beyond, offering altered visions of the exhibition space.
