Abstraktes Bild (Abstract Painting)
2016
This second 'Abstraktes Bild' from 2016 again reflects Richter's sustained engagement with abstract oil painting as an ongoing, open-ended inquiry. Like its companion, it was likely created through the application and removal of paint using a squeegee, generating cascading layers of color that record the history of their own making. The simultaneous production of related works underscores how Richter treats painting as a process of investigation rather than the realization of a predetermined image. Each canvas in the series shares a generic title, deflecting attempts to read in specific meaning while insisting on painting's autonomous presence. Together they demonstrate how variation and repetition coexist in his mature abstract practice.
