Gerhard Richter — Abstraktes Bild (894-14)
Gerhard Richter

Abstraktes Bild (894-14)

Gerhard Richter's *Abstraktes Bild (894-14)* is a richly layered oil painting on Alu Dibond, showcasing the artist's signature approach to gestural abstraction. Sweeping passages of color are dragged, smeared, and scraped across the smooth metallic surface, creating a dynamic interplay of transparency and opacity. The work exemplifies Richter's lifelong investigation into the tension between chance and control, resulting in a composition that feels both spontaneous and deeply considered.
