  1. This superficial blurring has something to do with the incapacity I have just mentioned.

    1972, in an interview with Rolf Schön, 1972; as cited on collected quotes on the website of Gerhard Richter: 'on Techniques', Eigene Worte

  2. [question: How do you interpret your role as a painter in our society?] As a role that everyone has. I would like to try to understand what is.

    1970, Quote from the interview with Rolf-Gunter Dienst, 1970; as cited on collected quotes on the website of Gerhard Richter: 'on Art', Eigene Worte

  3. Contact with like-minded painters - a group means a great deal to me: nothing comes in isolation. We have worked out our ideas largely by talking them through.
