Serpentine Galleries and HENI Productions are delighted to present this series of prints by Gerhard Richter. HENI Productions has so far made eleven editions with Richter, identified as P1 to P11, under Richter's direction and approval. The most recent four editions (P8 to P11) have been specially created for the Serpentine Galleries and can be viewed there along with editions P4 to P7. The new editions are the only ones available as all other previous editions have completely sold out.
The group of works installed at the Serpentine Gallery is based on Richter's seminal Flow paintings, which were created by capturing poured enamel paints on a glass surface. High-resolution photographs of the originals have been transformed into chromatographic prints, precisely reproducing the combination of chance gesture and careful composition within the originals.
These editions are referred to by the artist as "facsimile objects"; although they proceed from the Flow paintings, this series is distinct from the originals in a number of ways. In some cases, the artist has decided to present them differently; in others, they represent the only version of paintings that no longer exist. Where the original paintings have been damaged, the editions have been produced using digitally reconstructed images.
