LP from "Bach. The Goldberg Variations. Glenn Gould", CBS Records Masterworks 1982, one side painted with oil. This is Richter's contribution to the portfolio "Hommage à Cladders", which contains editions of more than 18 artists and was published by Museumsverein Mönchengladbach. The portfolio was released with a circulation of 50 roman numbered copies. The other 50 copies were sold separately. Our work belongs to an edition of 20 roman numbered copies which the artist probably produced for himself. Thanks to the individual technical execution, the single copies of this multiple assume the character of unique objects.
