Richter works through successive layers, movement and removal. I direct pigment through controlled micro-movements within a single painting session. So what actually changes when the artist stops applying paint and starts directing pigment?

This changes not only what can be seen, but how the painting must be seen. The traditional question has often been: What is the right distance from which to view this painting? My paintings do not have one right distance. They require movement. From far away, you encounter the whole.
