About the Item

"Abstraktes Bild 758-2" is an oil on canvas painting by Gerhard Richter. The framed size is 28 1/4 x 36 x 2 1/2 inches. The work is signed verso, "Richter 1992". "Abstraktes Bilds" is from Richter’s iconic "Abstrakte Bilder", a series of paintings widely recognized as the preeminent venture in abstract art of the last fifty years. The title “Abstraktes Bild” translates to Abstract Picture. This series emerged during the late 1970s and early 1980s when abstract art was making significant strides in the art world. As one of the leading figures of the Neue Wilde movement in Germany, Richter's work played a crucial role in advancing abstract expressionism in Europe. His process of creating these abstract paintings involved a unique combination of techniques, including scraping, smearing, and layering paint. These methods created rich textures and dynamic compositions. Other works from the "Abstraktes Bild" series can be found in major museum collections including the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Seattle Art Museum.
