What is the significance of the year 1994 in Richter's abstract work?
1994 is considered a peak period for Richter’s abstract series. During this time, he perfected the squeegee technique, creating complex, multi-layered surfaces that explore the tension between intentional composition and controlled chance.
What is the 'squeegee technique' used in this artwork?
Richter applied thick layers of paint and then dragged a large squeegee across the canvas. This process scrapes away certain layers while blurring others, creating the characteristic horizontal and vertical textures seen in Abstraktes Bild 1994.
