Gerhard Richter — Flow (P 16)
Gerhard Richter

Flow (P 16)

A mesmerizing abstraction of fluid, sweeping layers of color, *Flow (P 16)* exemplifies Gerhard Richter's mastery of blending painterly gesture with photographic reproduction. The chromogenic print captures the sensuous movement of pigment across the surface, translated into rich, luminous hues that appear both spontaneous and meticulously composed. Flush-mounted to aluminum, the work achieves a sleek, contemporary presence that bridges the boundary between painting and photography.

Medium
Chromogenic print, flush-mounted to aluminum with metal strainer on the reverse (as issued).
