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.

More about Gerhard Richter:
Gerhard Richter was born in 1932 in Dresden, Germany. Throughout his career, Richter has negotiated the frontier between photography and painting, captivated by the way in which these two seemingly opposing practices speak to and challenge one another. From exuberant canvases rendered with a squeegee and acerbic color charts to paintings of photographic detail and close-ups of a single brushstroke, Richter moves effortlessly between the two mediums, reveling in the complexity of their relationship, while never asserting one above the other.
Richter’s life traces the defining moments of twentieth-century history and his work reverberates with the trauma of National Socialism and the Holocaust. In the wake of the Second World War, Richter trained in a Socialist Realist style sanctioned by East Germany’s Communist government. When he defected to West Germany in 1961, a month before the Berlin Wall was erected, Richter left his entire artistic oeuvre up to that point behind. From 1961 to 1964—alongside Blinky Palermo and Sigmar Polke—Richter studied at the Staatliche Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, where he began to explore the material, conceptual, and historical implications of painting without ideological restraint.
Richter’s earliest paintings in Düsseldorf, stimulated by a fascination with current affairs and popular culture, responded to images from magazines and newspaper cuttings. Through the 1960s, Richter continued to address found and media images of subjects such as military jets, portraits, and aerial photographs. Notably, he reimagined family pictures he had smuggled from East Germany that included his smiling uncle Rudi, dressed in a Nazi uniform...
