Richter's famous "Abstract Pictures", were created with the squeegee - a wide wooden, rubber or aluminum spatula - in the 1980s, today they are the internationally most sought-after works of his painterly oeuvre. For the basic color scheme and as a compositional basis, the artist first creates a non-representational starting composition with a brush, which he then transforms into a veil of overlays and mixtures of colors with the help of a squeegee, thus lending it new, impressive aesthetics.
The work presented here combines the famous "Abstract Pictures" with a certain deconstruction or destruction: one of the "Abstract Pictures" is cut up into 64 individual parts, resulting in 64 smaller paintings. Richter's artistic process is often characterized by similar forms of destruction. In the "Abstract Pictures", the squeegee covers the underlying layers of paint, Richter paints over, scratches paint off and works it all over with a squeegee. In other paintings the artist works with blurring or paints over photographs or previously completed and then discarded images, as in the early series of the "Gray Pictures" in the 1960s. It’s like an artistic principle: something that has already been created is destroyed to make room for an aesthetic new creation. [CH]
