Highlight from the "63rd SBI Art Auction｜Tokyo Contemporary: Redefined" sales on Saturday, March 9, 2024.
Born in 1932 in Germany, Gerhard Richter is a prominent contemporary artist known for his diverse and innovative artworks. Richter has continually pushed the conceptual and visual boundaries of contemporary painting over the course of six decades, encompassing oil painting, photography, glass panel and digital printing. He has challenged artistic conventions, seamlessly moving between abstraction and representation. Richter's iconic photo paintings, expression using of a squeegee technique, and exploration of digital media reflect his profound impact on the art world.
This artwork belongs to Richter's Strip series, initiated in 2011 when Richter was 79. It is a digital inkjet print in 11 colors, derived from a detail of the 1990 hand-painted work Abstraktes Bild [CR: 724-4], which was fragmented and mirrored multiple times. There are 72 different stripe patterns are made in the Stripe series and each of the 72 pieces is a unique piece. The digital prints are laminated onto aluminum behind a thin layer of perspex. Richter employs a method of digitally manipulating and rearranging scanned images, resulting in compositions with vibrant and varied color palettes. By vertically dividing the scanned work, mirroring and copying strips, and then horizontally stretching them, he has created several captivating, colorful striped pieces. In the evolution from manual to digital techniques, Richter has brilliantly fused painting with technology, introducing a captivating alliance.
Richter meticulously documents these patterns in his 2011 publication, "Patterns" The book presents a curated selection from the over 4,000 patterns generated by his software-driven process, with some included in his paintings. This showcases Richter's meticulous focus on detail, color, and print quality.
Richter's work has been exhibited globally, earning recognition for its conceptual depth and technical mastery. Richter's enduring influence has solidified his status as one of the most important contemporary artists.
