Gerhard Richter

Four works: (i) Aladin (P11); (ii) Bagdad (P9); (iii) Bagdad (P10); (iv) IFRIT (P8)

2010

These four works by Gerhard Richter showcase his mastery of abstraction through richly layered fields of color, presented as Diasec-mounted chromogenic prints on aluminium that lend the surfaces a luminous, glass-like depth. The series titles — Aladin, Bagdad, and IFRIT — evoke a sense of the mythological and the exotic, hinting at an otherworldly narrative beneath the paintings' seemingly spontaneous yet meticulously composed visual language. Mounted behind acrylic glass and bonded to aluminium, the works achieve a sleek, pristine finish that enhances the vibrancy and intensity of Richter's signature sweeping gestures and chromatic complexity.
