Gerhard Richters newest facsimile-like artists book is focused on a single work comprising twenty-six drawings in graphite and pencil[Richters drawings] are of stringent individuality and recognizably by Richters hand, not based on their signature style but rather because they make their theme the act of drawing itself, gauging the conditions of drawing. Dieter Schwarz
In this new work, Richter combines various elements from a limited set of forms and techniquesincluding meandering lines, broad tonal planes applied with angled strokes of graphite, and passages of smudging, hatching, and erasurethereby uniting choice and chance in an infinitely generative processThe suite of works on paper serve as condensed expressions, encapsulating and refining the fundamental principles that have consistently defined Richters artistic journey.
Reproduced at actual size, the drawings encourage in-depth observation and inspire compelling reimagining of abstraction
