What makes this Gerhard Richter print museum-quality?
We use heavy-weight 250 gsm archival paper with a matte, uncoated finish. This ensures high color fidelity and longevity, preventing yellowing over time and maintaining the integrity of Richter's nuanced lighting.
What are the specifications of the black wooden frame?
The frame is made from solid, FSC-certified oak and ash, measuring 20mm (0.79") in both width and thickness. This provides a more robust and premium aesthetic than the common 14mm frames.
Is the paper used for this Richter print eco-friendly?
Yes, RedKalion uses FSC-certified materials or equivalent sustainable paper sources, ensuring that your art collection supports responsible forest management and environmental sustainability.
How is the artwork protected against damage?
Each framed print is protected by shatterproof, transparent plexiglass. This provides the clarity of glass with significantly higher durability, protecting the print from dust and physical impact during transit and display.
Is the framed print ready to hang upon arrival?
Absolutely. Every order includes a professional hanging kit. The 70x100 cm frame is designed for easy mounting, allowing you to elevate your space with this archival masterpiece immediately.

Richter's signature 'blur' or sfumato technique creates a distance between the subject and the viewer, transforming a simple candle into a haunting, philosophical reflection on time, memory, and the limitations of photography.
When did Gerhard Richter create the original Candle series?
Richter began his 'Kerze' (Candle) series in 1982. These works are celebrated for their technical mastery and their ability to convey a sense of silence and stillness in a turbulent modern world.
