What is the significance of the '780 1' numbering in Richter's work?
The number 780 1 refers to the catalogue raisonné of Richter's oeuvre. It signifies the chronological placement of the work in his career, documenting his systematic transition from photo-realism into pure, textured abstraction.
How does Richter achieve the textures seen in Abstract Painting 780 1?
Richter uses a large squeegee to scrape across wet paint layers. This method obscures original forms and creates unexpected ruptures and textures, a technique that has redefined the boundaries of abstract expressionism.
