![a landscape oriented gerhard richter schmear of red green blue and white paint on the top half of a cream card, with tiny pencil lines tracing down from paint dots to the bottom edge of the paper, and an inscription wishing marian [goodman] a very happy new year from gerhard and family written in a hand that does not look like any of gerhard's handwriting i've seen but why should it](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sl76yhmlqplxatvicvifbzhc/bafkreif6atj2mr3c7cohyle5ek2rj2nfnjgnwvie4tnfklnvao6jyrgnjm)
![thomas struth's 2002 portrait of the richter family has gerhard and sabine sitting in the chair and ottoman of the black leather eames lounger, respectively. young moritz, who's like 7 here? idk, sits on the edge of his father's chair and both of them place their right hands flat on the glass top of the mies coffee table. the younger daughter whose name i'm not going to look up [ok fine i looked it up it's ella marie and she's 5 here, maybe 6] is on the ottoman with her mother, in a black and grey wool party dress but like an austere party, and her mother holds her in place with a hand on her chest/waist, in a way that pulls the kid back a bit, tilting her head down, like she's being folded in half, but also giving the hardest look at struth's camera that would do the entire family proud. a richter painting of a skull and a richter painting of sabine's head hang on the walls behind them. if i were to buy a struth portrait of another family, it would absolutely be this one, it's terrifyingly good](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sl76yhmlqplxatvicvifbzhc/bafkreie6dnaq3cknvz2g6pwc2ddwndb5v4yii3hpcv2csm3eprmy2wyeoi)
