I'm glad your reply ended up longer than you intended! I simply hadn't considered your comparison in your main paragraph.

Also I looked up Gerhard Richter. This stuff is incredible. I looked at this one and thought "so it's just a blurry photograph, right?" Until I saw "oil on canvas". That's incredible. I was convinced that was just a photograph that was a little out of focus. I then looked at his Wikipedia page and it talks a little about his reason for blurring his paintings. I can definitely see myself getting into this guy's work. I'll be looking into Jeff Koons as well! Cheers!
