A series of four tapestries each mirroring a different quadrant of a single Richter painting. The device of mirroring appears across the works of many artists today. From Tadanori Yokoo to Gilbert & George's more recent output, it works with varying success. Richter attacks the idea with his usual rigor.

"The absence of a true olfactory vocabulary in European languages has long preoccupied Western scientists. Although the human nose is capable of recognising thousands of different odours, nearly all of our odour categories - sweet, pungent, bitter and so on - are borrowed from a limited selection of taste terms."
- Classen, Howes & Synnott, 1994, Aroma: The Cultural History Of Smell
