Description

When Brigid Polk, that enigmatic and magnetic figure of the New York scene, encounters Gerhard Richter in Munich, the moment ascends into myth. From their exchange emerges a series wherein the raw Polaroid morphs into spectral painting. Between instinctive gesture and plastic rigor, Richter seizes the flash of the instant and suspends it within ambiguity. This book traces that creative collision, where vivid memory entwines with mastered abstraction. Through narratives, images, and voices from the time, it reopens the door to a suspended moment in art history. An incandescent confrontation between two artistic solitudes, worlds apart save for their shared intensity.
