Gerhard Richter Two Grey Double Mirrors for a Pendulum in Münster

Description

Gerhard Richter: Two Grey Double Mirrors for a Pendulum in Münster draws us into the arcana of a work as precise as it is vertiginous. Author Dieter Schwarz dissects, with almost ritualistic exactitude, the genesis of this arresting installation - a pendulum swaying in a baroque nave, flanked by grey mirrors that both reflect the world and refuse it. Here, Richter conducts a masterful fusion of science and contemplation, of the ephemeral and the eternal. Stone, glass, and light engage in a hushed choreography, each element resonating in spectral harmony. The church is transformed into an observatory; the viewer, into a witness of suspended time. A visual and conceptual meditation that renders the invisible sublime.
