115 A Tale of Two Cities: Property from the Estate of Howard Karshan Gerhard Richter Follow Ohne Titel signed and dated 'Richter 1977' lower right of board oil on board mounted on board cardboard 14 x 88.3 cm (5 1/2 x 34 3/4 in.) overall 27.1 x 100.6 cm (10 5/8 x 39 5/8 in.) Painted in 1977.
Provenance Galerie Fred Jahn, Munich Acquired from the above by the late owner Artist Bio Gerhard Richter German • 1932 Follow Powerhouse painter Gerhard Richter has been a key player in defining the formal and ideological agenda for painting in contemporary art. His instantaneously recognizable canvases literally and figuratively blur the lines of representation and abstraction. Uninterested in classification, Richter skates between unorthodoxy and realism, much to the delight of institutions and the market alike. Richter's color palette of potent hues is all substance and "no style," in the artist's own words. From career start in 1962, Richter developed both his photorealist and abstracted languages side-by-side, producing voraciously and evolving his artistic style in short intervals. Richter's illusory paintings find themselves on the walls of the world's most revered museums—for instance, London’s Tate Modern displays the Cage (1) – (6) , 2006 paintings that were named after experimental composer John Cage and that inspired the balletic 'Rambert Event' hosted by Phillips Berkeley Square in 2016.
