Lougher Contemporary has listed Gerhard Richter’s ‘FAZ-Übermalung (Editions CR 122)’ from 2002 with a sale price of £95,000. The Bristol gallery’s website presents the work among its latest arrivals, positioning it as one of the higher-priced contemporary prints and multiples currently available through the dealer’s online stock.
The listing appears on Lougher Contemporary’s homepage and is repeated in the gallery’s site materials, where the work is shown alongside other named editions by artists including Banksy, Keith Haring, David Hockney, Katharina Grosse and Yayoi Kusama. The gallery describes itself as established in 2015 and says it has more than 30 years’ combined experience, with services that include sourcing, private sales, framing and art insurance.
Richter’s work is presented within that broader collecting framework rather than as part of an exhibition. Lougher Contemporary also maintains editorial content on its website, including a topical item titled ‘Gerhard Richter at the Fondation Louis Vuitton’, but the newly listed ‘FAZ-Übermalung’ itself is identified as a sale item, not as part of a venue-based display. No additional details about edition size, medium or condition are provided in the verified source material.
The page signals the gallery’s emphasis on established names in the contemporary and postwar market. Alongside Richter’s work, Lougher Contemporary’s latest-arrivals section includes ‘Girl With Balloon (Unsigned)’ by Banksy at £88,000, Keith Haring’s ‘Untitled (Littmann p. 50)’ at £49,500, David Hockney’s ‘A Bigger Book, Art Edition A, ‘Untitled, 329’’ at £48,000, Katharina Grosse’s ‘Untitled (2018)’ at £45,000 and Yayoi Kusama’s ‘A Pumpkin YB-A (Kusama 325)’ at £42,500.
The gallery’s wider site copy frames its business around advising collectors on buying and selling prints, sculptures and originals, and it also promotes a consignment service for artists ranging from Andy Warhol to Banksy. In a separate email campaign, Lougher Contemporary invited collectors to seek valuations for Banksy prints and editions, naming works such as ‘Girl With Balloon’, ‘Love Is In The Air (Flower Thrower)’, ‘Choose Your Weapon’, ‘NOLA’, ‘Morons’, ‘Laugh Now’, ‘Kate Moss’ and ‘Napalm’.
For Richter, the listing adds another high-value edition to the gallery’s online catalogue at a time when the dealer is foregrounding blue-chip names for collectors. The source material does not indicate whether the work has sold, nor does it provide a separate auction history or provenance note, but it does identify the asking price as £95,000 and gives the full title as ‘FAZ-Übermalung (Editions CR 122)’, 2002.
