Gerhard Richter — Flow (P16)
Gerhard Richter

Flow (P16)

2016

A luminous cascade of fluid color sweeps across the surface in soft, billowing waves of blue, green, and white, evoking the dynamic movement of water or atmospheric phenomena. Richter's masterful manipulation of paint — captured here through photographic reproduction and mounted behind acrylic glass — transforms gestural abstraction into a pristine, almost hyper-real image. The Diasec mounting process lends the work a jewel-like depth and brilliance, enhancing the sense of endless, meditative flow.

Medium
Diasec-mounted chromogenic print on aluminium
