Lot Details
Oil on canvas.
Butin 46. Catalogue raisonné of paintings number: 325/33. Signed, dated and numbered on the reverse. From a series of 120 unique objects. 26.5 x 39.5 cm.
Published as annual bonus by the 'Westfälischer Kunstverein', Münster. The 120 canvasses were mounted as one in a size of 270 x 480 cm, painted as a whole and sold individually.
- Unique object. - The "Vermalungen" (Inpaintings) are a key theme in Richter's art of the early 1970s. - In them Richter explores and analyzes an abstrakte gestural painting.
Galerie de Vries, Berlin. Private collection North Rhine-Westphalia (since 2016, acquired from the above)
With his "Vermalungen", which were created between 1971 and 1973 in various versions as editions, the painting of the entire surface of the connected canvases results in "a chaos of endless movements, so that the color strips drawn across all canvases are inextricably intertwined. The movements seem to have no beginning and no end, they obey no comprehensible rhythm and form no color scheme. [...]" (Butin, p. 34). Despite this inner, apparently final interdependence, after the separation of the entire work, each individual part with its random detail undergoes a metamorphosis into an independent painting that frees itself from the original context.
