"The reader feels the coldness when looking at the photos Gerhard RICHTER brought back from a trip to Greenland in 1972: ice and snow fields, screes and rocky massifs, icebergs and ice floes reflected in gray-blue water Paintings again.
The photobook 'Eis' consists of three equally large compositional elements - photo, text block, free area - each 8.5 x 10 cm. RICHTER chooses a 'Vice-Versa' version with two main titles. The beginning of the text is determined by the reader. The orientation is simple, the effect on the double pages with partly upside-down photos full of optical surprises."
