German artist Gerhard Richter is best known for his exploration of painting with tendencies to move between abstraction and figuration. In his more figurative works, Richter uses photography to depict nudes, flowers and even scenes from Nazi history. In the more abstract, he relies more on geometric forms and bold, gestural abstractions as seen here. Created on an aluminium composite panel, this work plays with texture and peaks of colour throughout, almost as if an entire painting once existed over the now grayed-out abstraction.
