For this latest project, Richter took an image of his work "Abstract Painting" ( 7244) and divided it vertically into first 2, then 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1,024, 2,048, up to 4,096 strips. This process, involving twelve stages of division, results in 8,190 strips, each of which is reproduced here at the height of the original image. With each stage of division, the strips become progressively thinner (a strip of the 12th division is just 0.08 millimeters; further divisions would only become visible by enlargement). Each strip is then mirrored and repeated, producing an incredibly detailed patterning. The number of repetitions increases with each stage of division in order to make patterns of consistent size. The resulting 221 patterns are reproduced here on landscape spreads, making for a truly extraordinary reading-viewing book experience.Born in Dresden, East Germany, in 1932, Gerhard Richter migrated to West Germany in 1961, settling in Dusseldorf, where he studied at the Dusseldorf Academy, and where he held his first solo exhibition in 1963. Over the course of that decade, Richter helped to liberate painting from the legacy of Socialist Realism (in Eastern Germany) and Abstract Expressionism (in Western Germany and throughout Europe). He has exhibited internationally for the last five decades, with a major European touring retrospective in London, Berlin and Paris in 2012. He lives and works in Cologne.638575Patterns100800https://www.gandhi.com.mx/gerhard-richter-patterns-1/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/1793660/cbc418ce-004c-4534-bcd0-3b32cdafc9ce.jpg?v=638338951627270000https://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/6507718/9783863351908.jpg?v=638629464077770000OutOfStockMXN0FITapa dura1a Edición20129783863351908_"Patterns" represents a brilliant new adventure in image-making and book-making by Gerhard Richter, who in recent years has produced several fascinating explorations of the possibilities of the artist's book.
