  • 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 great golfer whose name escapes me said, "The more I practice the luckier I get."
      Leonardo noticed the abstract beauty of a sponge soaked in ink and thrown against the wall.
      My best work always surprised me when I was done. Art can't be produced by sheer physical exertion, the winner of the Highlander Giant Rock Rolling contest could have a head full of Gorilla Glue. That painting was fun to look at, sometimes art can be that. My understanding from reading the comments is this man can paint photo-realistically. I imagine if he doesn't like the results he can keep squeegeeing more paint on the surface till it says "Stop". In conclusion, I like it.

      NELSON X this particular piece does not hold my interest but that’s ok. I am interested in the technique though. Yes he is a very skilled artist in photo-realism. I dabble in abstract for fun to see what I get. But unless the “sponge” thrown at my canvas created something akin to the Mona Lisa, I don’t think I’m going to expect the world to “ooh” and “ahh” over it nor ask a hefty price for it. Yes I do enjoy some of them. A lot of them are pretty cool to see. Few I would consider purchasing if the price were right. But so far none of them move me to the point of “I just have to have that”. But that’s me and most people that I know. I actually wish I could see and admire what you do. I really do. Art has taught me to slow down and look and admire the beauty of the natural world around me but I don’t see that in abstract art unless it reminds me of these things which I would have to see immediately while my brief attention is on it. You saw “fall foliage” but I did not. I may “see” it if I revisit it and now that you have mentioned it. But should I be seeing things within it since the whole point of of modern abstract art is NOT seeking to represent external reality even though it might form something akin to something in reality much like a cloud formation sometimes does?

    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.

      Timothy Lee you are entitled to your opinion, and like you I enjoy richard estes, robert bechtle, but I made my caveat with living artists still working, those two artists have not created any new work for some time. Additionally, those two artists are limited to their photorealist work, they have not made any other contributions to any other artistic genre the way Richter has. Why paint photorealistic? Well isnt that what you are criticizing richter for, the lack of talent? My point was to explain to the non educated that if they had done research they would see that richter is more than a squeegee. Additionally, your complaint is with the art market, and not the artist so your argument does not really have any validity. Richter did not create the art market, he just creates paintings that people enjoy. Lastly, I am glad you find nature so beautiful, why dont you use your talent and bring that passion to the masses.

      John Castle it would be very easy with highly educated, experienced art collectors to tell the difference.

The experiment is not really proving anything if you are pulling people off the street who have no interest in art or richter.

      Worst of all is the notion that abstract art is easy and requires no particular skill, whereas photorealism is thought to be highly skilled and very difficult, therefore of higher quality. But any art school graduate can do photorealistic work; it's one of the basic skills taught in art schools today. It is true that "anyone" can make abstract art, but very few people can make GOOD abstract art.

    Richter s recent work are actually considered modern, abstract ,interesting to look at; exciting and totally different from what he did before. It is easy to criticize the artist and say- I can do that! but the truth is - He already did it! People must look at his work and ask themselves why he did such thing and how he did it. I think the artist should never show the magic and the process of making. Otherwise people just look at it and think that can do the same thing. Before he got into the process of making and using his own tools there is also a process of thinking and theory in the artist head. Art is experimental and that is exactly what he is trying to express to the viewers. I disagree with what the curator was saying like- Richter knows exactly what he is doing ! He cannot control anything , that is a myth- artists cannot control painting particularly scrapping paint. The artist doesn`t use a paintbrush he is using a tool to scrap colors that he choose for each piece. Anyways I like the idea of scrapping definitely something new and very bold in the art world!

      pedro marques You have defined art in part only.
      Seriously though most people can find no message in most of this “modern” abstract art. Why people ask “What is the artists message?”, is beyond me. Abstractionism is an escape from reality. Visual eye candy. It attempts to explain nothing. In this way it is only a message to ignore reality and take a break and enjoy your imagination. Therefore, this is nothing new AT ALL. It is futile to “decipher” any other message as to what the artist is thinking. If the artist wants to send a clear message of another sort then the artist would have to stray from the abstract and into realism. IF the artist IS sending a message in the abstract it alway’s has to be explained by them with written or verbal words. That is a common problem. If an artist actually wanted to send a clear message then the artist needs to be an Illustrator and/or a Cartoonist.
      I paint because I enjoy it and the subject interests me. I have no “message” other than “I hope you can enjoy it as much as I did”. For example, I painted a lifeless tree in all it’s glory in a sunset setting. Was I thinking about the end of life and my own approaching death or was I thinking or trying to find that there is beauty within death to be admired? At the time, ABSOLUTELY NOT! I thought it interesting and beautiful and placed myself in one of my countless walks in nature and it’s seasons at the time of the awesome sunsets. That’s it. That’s all. I had no philosophical message. One of my patrons loved it’s beauty so much just because she also enjoyed it’s imagery and it went very well with her decor no matter what she did in the future. I would not let her buy it. She received it as a gift. Where it takes her imagination is for her to enjoy as I must visit the painting from time to time myself. I hated to part way’s with it. Commissions are nothing more than work to me and I am glad to be rid of them. Now commissions must only be in a subject that grabs my interest and I must have complete artistic control. But, I stay away from even those types as much as possible. Art is not my job. It is a passionate hobby. In the end, I do not care if it’s a new, never done before, painting or subject. What matter’s is did I enjoy it and accomplish my task. Normal buyers could care less what you were thinking. They buy it because it interests them for some reason of their own. Investors don’t care either. They are in it for the money.
      Then there are people like you (no offense intended) who seem to think there must be a message to everything and philosophize and physco analyze about the artist mind. But you don’t know that unless you know about the artist themselves, their philosophy, their witnessed intention’s. If I paint landscapes does that mean that I am an active Environmentalist that wants you to only use solar/wind power or control human population? Nope. If I were to paint animals does that mean that I am an extreme Animal Rights activist? Nope. Is what I just said here mean that I don’t care at all about the political “issue’s”? Nope.

You are unique and do not have to prove it. But you are a part of society. You are to bring that uniqueness to the society and share it. Your techniques should eventually be shared so that other’s might use them for the continued betterment of society.

    (2.35) "Composition, texture, balance of colour, energy" - the very criteria of painting that Richter, for years, studiously avoided. He's always been very cerebral ( quite "Duchampian"). Uncomfortable with Romantic/Aesthetic notions of Art. Wary of ideology and of slipping into any kind of belief system. Therefore, given that legacy, these paintings walk a fine line.

      @Tom Furgas I'm not saying "Duchampian" in reference to these abstract paintings but his previous work, beginning with 'Capitalist Realism' and then his sustained dialogue with photographic material (his found objects). In 1964 Duchamp stated: " Pop Art is a return to 'conceptual' painting..." I'd perhaps draw parallels between the practice of Richter and Jasper Johns, though I seem to recall that Richter was uncomfortable with Johns' "painterliness." I'd be cautious when calling these paintings "purely retinal" though they do stray into that territory. To what extent do they diverge from his previous work and to what extent are they conceptually consistent?

    I would say the following: If YOU, the commenter or watcher could do this after a 5-10 minutes instruction, then it's not a great art, sadly. But on some level I understand the decadence, these "artists" only want to shock the watchers.
    I'm a member of the site Deviant Art with "amateur" artists, there are tons of brilliant but unknown painters there, there are thousands of them who can paint/draw so much better...but maybe they are just too humble, so they don't have a big name. For me it seems that a few people have to be the chosen ones, they will be the "elite artists", no matter how bad they are. Notice that for example Damien Hirst was supported buy a rich guy (Saatchi) when he started his carrier, he got every help available.
    I was thinking...if Richter would paint in some detailed figures/bodies on the top of these backrground textures maybe it could have been something...
    Again, if you watch a CZcams intructional video ("How to make abstract art using acrylic/oil paint") then YOU will be able to this. But try to paint in the style of for example Alma Tadema, Thomas Cole or other academics, it would take decades to learn that kind of detalied paint tecnique.

      And you probably did not appreciate them, thinking it does not look like anything real. Oh Mary, children know there is something else and something more behind what we can see.

      Mary Smith and Meta, I’m sure she did like and appreciate them. And if they did not “look” like anything real then I bet she asked the child about them. Skill is one thing-communication and actually understanding each other is another. So is building self esteem and supporting a desire in one’s child is also another thing.
      Mary obviously-as most of us do-do not think this is “Art” worthy of one’s talent beyond the textile industry and innovation. But I doubt that most would even buy that textile pattern in their furniture etc.
      This is nothing more to most of us than a large knife painting in a large screed format to create a rather somewhat controlled design pattern and accidental outcome. Hardly worth anything beyond a painting technique for textiles or painting backgrounds. Perhaps some will find it worthy of imaginary exploration but many find that in messy palettes, paint rags, used paint tarps, accidental spills, natural formations, or “on purposely controlled yet total random outcomes” applications such as this painting-or an unbalanced and promoted art style worthy of today’s Investors tax/money shelters.
      And you “Art Conissuers” wonder why the majority of the normal average citizen criticize it. Truly, the majority does not think upchucking paint, or spewing forth paint from ones butt (as some do and make big bucks on) is worthy of the name of Art or what they consider good talent (or honed skills) worthy of a grand title and fame and fortune. This is “tie dye” expression, Pouring expression, etc., you name it-different media and technique’s yet meaningless (outside of the painters mind if one had any real meaningful thought about it all, where we the viewer do not have to conjecture what the artist was “trying to say”), random, mesmerizing pattern, for the brain to focus on whether “under the influence” or just finding it worthy of dwelling ones attention on for a bit. Yes it is “Art”. But no more worthy than the other’s LIKE it.

      Listen, I spoke to Mary but again, that is here your point of view, I do find it worthy, brilliant, and meaningful, specially for people who think like you, that we all need to have the same taste. And I wonder why you speak about the textile industry, because you do not need to be from the "art work" as you say, to know that this artist is very much appreciated all over the world, not only by many other artists, creators and experts. You can read it everywhere. Mary for sure understands what I meant by that. And I am sure she was able to appreciate his child's work too. Exactly for the same reason we should learn to do the same thing with every body else` work: respect them, no matter what they do, as long as some persons feel they are contributing to society. After all, they are not harming others in any way. Unfortunately, we cannot say the same from everyone. If you don't like it, it is ok, move on. Spreading such negative comments and criticizing delivery, without even making the slightest effort to understand, is really wrong. Education is what you need. You don't criticize someone else work like that. If you do not know about it, ask first or inform yourself. If you don't like it, keep it to yourself because nobody asked you to say those ugly things. You have more options than just letting out your negativity in the world. There are people who do like his work and that is enough for you to shut up. Respect and you will be respected. It is as simple as that.

      Meta Ebenism If you appreciate it so be it. If I dislike it then so be it. If you want to voice out about it that’s ok to. Same goes for me and other’s like me. I see you don’t take your own advice about shutting up. I do not need more education on this work or this artist. I already know that Richter is a very skilled artist worthy (and has produced) of so much more that this....screed work. And like a child going astray needing correction or even a “star” who has created a crappy movie etc., that hardly anyone but a die hard fan would like-they need to know how we “feel” about it. If you put it in public you are going to get a public reaction. If he wants to do it...that’s his choice. However...he gets a thumbs down.

    • @yokyu2lea

      Speaking your mind is one thing, but you do not say these sort of things about anyone's work, because that is disrespectful, in case you did not learn it at school or at home. So, yes, you need to shut up when you are disrespectful. I was just watching this documentary, when I noticed that you were degrading, devaluating, and diminishing the work of the artist. This is the reason why this world is the way it is. People like you haven't learnt to respect other views. @@richiejourney1840

    to be axact and crystal clear : these are dripping and pouring and its nothing to do with art ..is simple colour playing like everyone can do with some common sense .. if you go to search for : acrylic pouring you can find thousands like these and even better ... the hall concept of art and blah blah blah is for sauce and the money that they pay is for washing ...and for the end purpose : to confuse the public about the meaning of common sense ....any doubts ?

    • @yokyu2lea

      It is all more about the experience: creating while being immerse in an activity that requires physical effort and the painter enjoys fully, letting himself be moved by whatever drives him, a moment, a feeling, an idea, who knows what, and expressing that through painting. It is not about appearances, you see, but feelings, emotions, what is behind the things.... And it is interesting that those colors influence people differently, everybody has a different association while watching those pictures. Some people see shadows, people, figures and objects behind those colors. And have you ever tried doing that with such tool? It is not as easy as it seems. Go and try...dripping, pouring colors may be fun, but you might not be able to explore and mix colors like that, and resembling images and creating the impression of watching images wearing out by the course of time.... And he does not use a traditional tool. All that is indeed a very unique form of expression.

      I agree, life is not fair sometimes, and yes you are right, many painters out there break their backs and sadly do not gain any recognition or money, but that is because of preconceptions again, and that is also probably one of the things that I think Gerard is telling us. He is posing some questions related to work and art. His work is here physical, and that might challenge the view of those who believe that artists do not work hard when they create simple things, which cannot be farther from the truth. Creating difficult and complex things is sometimes easier than doing the opposite. And most of the times working hard does not have as positive results as when we are fully inspired and driven by some passion while enjoying what we do. Now, try to create simple things, that everybody understand and can apply easily, without breaking your back, that is not easy at all! In that way, just like Pollock, we are talking here about brilliant ideas of people challenging our perspectives and traditional ways of thinking related to work, art, effort, life and success! We all tend to be complicated and believe that breaking our backs, as expected in society, will make us happy, when in fact, sometimes the best results could be achieved with measured effort, and precisely when you are inspired in a moment, when/if you feel good while working. It is all about balance! Just like the amount of colors you need to use in a canvas to create harmony, we need a balance in the way we work: working enough and enjoying. I mean, we all could opt for a healthy simplicity, but It is very difficult to come undone, getting rid of preconceptions and assumptions, not caring about what people might perceive as valuable, and be just satisfied when we work enough, without breaking ours backs. Instead, we usually do the opposite, and work hard because we think recognition and money are going to save us and make us happy, but that is an illusion. In the best of those cases, yes, we might get some money and recognition, but how long? With so much effort and pressure, we lose the joy in creating something valuable, and on top of that, we get some kind of injury or damage (not only on our backs). In short, If we, as human beings and society create something that harms us, our work cannot be a good work. But those are only my interpretations, of course. Maybe I am talking nonsense.@Wenceslao Futanaki

      Hmmm, I think I know what you mean now. Let me see if I understand you. Do you mean that the physical work of farmers is harder than a mental one and therefore, should be paid and rewarded better, and deserve more recognition? And that abstraction painting does not require skills? @Wenceslao Futanaki

      There's no dripping and pouring at all. The paint he's using here is full bodied paint. If it's 'nothing to do with art', then what is art to you?

    • @yokyu2lea
      @yokyu2lea Před 5 lety +2

      I disagree with you in many things here. First, I believe that abstraction has anything to do with a specific economic system. Actually, there are many abstract painters who were born under both systems and they do criticize things indirectly. I think abstraction has to do with concepts, ideas, feelings, associations and things you cannot perceive clearly, without making some sort of connections. Take a look at this video: czcams.com/video/Bg3oQ_OqQ_o/video.html. Second, I think that if rich people do not buy art, then artists would die of hunger? Who makes the rules in the market if it is not us, consumers who decide what to pay? Now, I agree that the prices are not reasonable, but that is because of consumers again who compete with each other. I would never pay that amount of money they pay, and well, I am not able to support artists, but if I could, I would support artists that are not that famous or lucky. I agree with you on that, that there are many great artists who are not that lucky, that have to be discovered. But, I think it is good that there are people willing to pay for art, since that can help at least some lucky ones. Now, how can you know about the time it took an artist to come up with an idea? If you take a look at the trajectory of this artist you might see, he has been actually working on similar topics since a long time ago, and everything is somehow connected. And have you seen the way he does those works? It takes a lot of days, painting and yes, work. So, I don't have the impression he did it in one hour and even when it is so, I don't think that would decrease the value of those many pieces of works. And you know what, it is great that we have different views. We just value things differently, and that might be a good thing, because imagine if we all like and want the same thing in life! You might prefer other kinds of painting, but that cannot be criteria to diminish its value....and that is, it all depends on what you see, and what you want to pay and can afford. Have a nice week and send a link about your work, maybe you are the next lucky one ;)! @Wenceslao Futanaki
