"Accepting that I can't plan anything. Every consideration I make about the construction of a picture is wrong, and if the execution succeeds, it is only because I partially destroy it or because it works anyway [..]. The only consolation is that I can say to myself that I made the pictures anyway, even if they do what they want, against my will, but still somehow come into being [..]."
Gerhard Richter, quoted from: Armin Zweite, Sehen, Reflektieren, Erscheinen. Anmerkungen zum Werk von Gerhard Richter, in: Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen (ed.), Gerhard Richter, Düsseldorf 2005, p. 83.
