'My grey monochromes have the same illusionistic implications as my landscapes. I want them to be seen as narratives - even if they are narratives of nothingness. Nothing is something. You might say they are like photographs of nothing.' (G. Richter, quoted in M. Kimmelman, 'Gerhard Richter: An Artist Beyond Isms', in The New York Times, 27 January 2002).
