Gerhard Richter: 100 Abstract Pictures

<b>A new artist’s book, created by Gerhard Richter, that explores abstraction and chance in art and writing</b><br><br>“The <i>100 Abstract Pictures</i> shown here originated about five years ago, when I poured enamel paints on a fifty-by-fifty centimeter glass plate. The paints then flowed into one another without completely mixing. Thus they produced countless ephemeral abstract pictures, which I captured in photographs. These pictures are juxtaposed in the book with text formations that were generated at random.” —Gerhard Richter, 2023<br> <br>With a career spanning more than sixty years, the renowned painter Gerhard Richter is one of the greatest artists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Debuting alongside Richter''s first exhibition at David Zwirner, featuring new abstract works created between 2016 and 2022, this book celebrates his continued dedication to experimentation and innovation.<br> <br>An artwork of its own, this intimate volume inspires both close looking and a beautiful interpretation of abstraction.
