About this work

This photo shows two people in a small, dimly lit hotel room. They’re sitting on twin beds covered with patterned blankets, facing away from the camera. A nightstand between them holds a few small objects, and the walls are plain with a single light on. The photo was taken in 1967 at a hotel in Antwerp, as noted in the caption. The artist turned a real moment into this print, keeping it simple and raw. Look up Gerhard Richter to see how he blended photography and painting.
