"The oil sketch "Ölskizze, Rhombus (850-13)" by Gerhard Richter is a true gem. The picture was made in direct connection with the six-part cycle "Abstraktes Bild, Rhombus (851/1-6)" that Richter had originally created for the church Padre Pio in San Giovanni Rotondo in Italy. It is the only work in extistence that anticipates the rhomb-shaped works."
Dietmar Elger, director of Gerhard Richter Archive, Dresden
"Abstract painting offered us a better way to approach the intangible and unintelligible, as its direct appearance, meaning its means of art, are not about illustration or depiction".
Gerhard Richter, 1982, quote from: Cat. Documenta 7, Kassel 1982.
