Additional Details: The reproduction of Alfa Romeo by Gerhard Richter depicts a high-speed Alfa Romeo car with accompanying text that resembles a sales pitch. This work was created in 1967 and is part of Richter's early exploration of photorealism and his interest in the interplay between advertising and art. In Alfa Romeo, Richter uses the image of the car and the promotional text to explore themes of consumer culture and the impact of media on perception. By blurring the lines between art and advertising, Richter critiques the way commercial imagery influences our understanding of objects and their value. The work reflects his interest in the media's role in shaping public consciousness, a recurring theme in his oeuvre.
