What is the significance of the 'squeegee technique' in Richter's abstract work?
Richter used a large squeegee to pull paint across the canvas, creating unpredictable layers and textures. This technique allows for a dialogue between controlled intent and the beauty of chance in abstraction.
When did Gerhard Richter begin his Abstract Picture series?
Richter began his explorations of 'Abstraktes Bild' in the late 1970s, evolving the series throughout the 1980s and 90s to challenge the boundaries between traditional painting and mechanical processes.
