In Neun Objekte, Richter produced very elaborate optical illusions. He constructed the nine three-dimensional objects himself and photographed them in everyday environments. He then had the photographs professionally retouched so that the constructions appeared spatially impossible. After re-photographing the reworked images, Richter printed them using offset technique.
