ROBERT BARRY, Over Time, 2019
each 10,5 x 15 cm
offset, set of 12 post cards
signed, numbered
edition 40
published by More Publishers, Brussels, Belgium
inv.RBar 784
This is a suite of 12 postcards, send by post over time in 2019 at irregular intervals. The first postcard that was sent out is signed and numbered by the artist, here number 17/40.
Robert Barry likes to use words out of context and place to explore the notions the words are standing for. They are scattered across different supports and kinds of paper, canvas, mirror, wall, floor and behave almost like dynamic objects.

GERHARD RICHTER, Tote bag, 2019 – number 2
18 x 18 inches
tote bag, dye print on polyester fibre
published by FineArtAmerica.com

Fine Art America is a company comparable to RedBuble Pty Ltd that was founded in 2006 as a global online marketplace for print-on-demand products. In 2007, Broihier launched Fine Art America, also an ecommerce marketplace. Artists upload digital images of their artwork to fineartamerica.com and offer them for sale as frame prints, canvas prints, greeting cards and more. Once a purchase is made, Fine Art America outsources the printing, framing, matting, stretching, packaging, shipping and insuring.
FineArtAmerica.com sells not only in-the-style-of, but also merchandised 2 patterns (details of a painting) that are offered as ‘by Gerhard Richter’, i.e. both 2 Throw pillows and 2 Tote bags. That brings one to the question whether Gerhard Richter or his team ‘uploaded digital images of artworks to fineartamerica.com’ or that e.g. Fine Art America got a license to publish and produce this product.
For some reason on the Tote bags number 2 and 3 no reference can found related to Gerhard Richter’s name, consent or authorisation. KvG, 28 October 2019
When one is looking for Richter’s Tote bags produced by various companies none of these bags are for sale anymore. Instead of making clear whether a product is an authentic item made with the consent of Richter, nowadays Tote bags are printed with squeegee reproductions designed by designers obviously inspired by the paintings of Gerhard Richter. This all makes the Tote bag number 2 a peculiar collector’s item. KvG, 17 March 2021

When one is looking for Richter’s ‘Throw pillows’ none of these pillowss are for sale anymore. Instead of making clear whether a product is an authentic item made with the consent of Richter, nowadays these products are printed with squeegee reproductions designed by designers obviously inspired by the paintings of Gerhard Richter. Other pillows are for sale with the name of a designer under the image, with the obvious attempt to avoid accusations of plagiarism. This all makes the ‘Throw pillow number 2’ a peculiar collector’s item.
