It seems that the first work where Richter painted a skull goes on public show for the first time in 30 years. It also goes to auction. This work is a 1983 canvas work, and is being made public this time since being exhibited at Fred Jahn Gallery in Munich in 1988. It is at London’s Christie’s in October.

Here​ ​is the work.

Gerhard Richter, Schädel (Skull),1983, 80 x 65 cm, Oil on canvas

However, the exhibition this time is amazing. Although there are only 9 pieces, 8 of them are representative works and 1 is abstract. It seems that such works have been sold elsewhere. You could say the past 30 years have been in certain a sense so startling.
