Gerhard Richter Follow Ohne Titel signed and dated '14.2.90 Gerhard Richter' lower half; dedicated and illustrated with a small drawing by the artist Jürgen Klauke on the reverse pencil on paper 23.3 x 19 cm (9 1/8 x 7 1/2 in.) Executed in 1990.
Provenance Ketterer Kunst GmbH, Munich, 10 December 2011, lot 308 Acquired at the above sale by the present 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.
