Gerhard Richter — Strip (Strip)
Gerhard Richter

Strip (Strip)

2011

Strip is one of Richter's most celebrated digital works, generated by repeatedly slicing and mirroring a section of his 1990 abstract painting Abstraktes Bild (724-4). The process produces hypnotic, vertically banded patterns that oscillate between the organic and the geometric, raising questions about originality, reproduction, and the nature of painting itself. This work exemplifies Richter's ongoing interrogation of how images are transformed through mechanical and digital processes. Printed between glass or Diasec-mounted, the piece reflects his interest in surface, transparency, and the objecthood of the artwork.
