Gerhard Richter: 100 Abstract Pictures -- Gerhard Richter

<b>A new artist's book, created by Gerhard Richter, that explores abstraction and chance in art and writing</b> <p/>"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 <p/>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. <p/>An artwork of its own, this intimate volume inspires both close looking and a beautiful interpretation of abstraction.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Gerhard Richter<br><b>Publisher:</b> David Zwirner Books<br><b>Published:</b> 07/25/2023<br><b>Pages:</b> 208<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 1.20lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 9.25h x 6.50w x 0.55d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781644231111
