Gerhard Richter

Abstractes Bild, 1990, CR 724-4

A richly layered chromogenic print by Gerhard Richter, this work captures the dynamic, gestural quality characteristic of his abstract paintings, rendered here in photographic form and mounted behind acrylic glass using the Diasec process. Sweeping bands of color intermingle and collide across the surface, evoking both spontaneity and meticulous control. The Diasec mounting onto aluminium lends the image a luminous depth and sleek precision, bridging the boundary between painting and photography.
