Gerhard

Abstrakte Bilder, a monumental diptych spanning over thirteen feet in width, looms dramatically, totally enveloping the viewer in the utter magnitude of its scale. Using his signature squeegee technique, Gerhard Richter presents a spectacular maelstrom of feverish color exploding across the canvas in a dense weave of paint. In this episode of Masterworks: Expert Voices, join Grégoire Billault, Head of Contemporary Art, in an exploration of why Gerhard Richter’s achievement in painting is without precedent. Of the 18 large-scale works from this period, 13 reside in renowned institutional, private, and corporate collections worldwide, including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, St. Louis Art Museum, and the Montreal Museum of Art. Abstrakte Bilder will be offered as a highlight of Sotheby’s Contemporary Art Evening Auction. (14 November | New York)

"A painter without a brush", "absolute magic", trademarks of a great artist. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheScreamingFrog916]

I like the way abstract art gives the finger, to stuck up people, who think only representative art is acceptable.

[@RonaldGosses]

Our art work is personally made I created it its mine. If you do not like it so be it. If it is honest work from your soul then its beautiful and if it stirs your feelings then you no your alive .And life is full of colour and living free to create more.

I love reading the comments on richter videos, these philistines who have no idea how deep his oeuvre is, one of the greatest living photorealistic painters still alive, they see his abstract work and think that is the extent of his abilities. They make themselves look so ignorant, and they are doing it on purpose, it is awesome.

His name reminds me of earthquake, his art for artquake. Thanks.
