Description
Gerhard Richter's 100 Abstract Pictures is an intimate artist's book that showcases the renowned painter's exploration of abstraction and chance in art and writing. Created over five years ago, the 100 abstract pictures were generated by pouring enamel paints onto a glass plate, allowing them to flow into one another without completely mixing. These ephemeral images are juxtaposed with randomly generated text formations. This unique book celebrates Richter's continued dedication to experimentation and innovation, featuring new works created between 2016 and 2022. It is an artwork in its own right, inviting close looking and beautiful interpretation of abstraction. With a career spanning over sixty years, Gerhard Richter is one of the greatest artists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Debuting alongside Richter's first exhibition at David Zwirner, this book offers a fascinating glimpse into the artist's creative process. It is an essential addition to any collection or library, providing a new perspective on abstraction and the role of chance in artistic creation.
