Gerhard Richter
Rot-Blau-Gelb
1973.
Oil on canvas.
Signed and dated on the reverse, also inscribed with a direction arrow and the work nuimber "339/6". 98 x 92 cm (38.5 x 36.2 in).
• Red, blue and yellow: Gerhard Richter"s "tool" for infinite color variations.
• Controlled chance - the broad brush as forerunner of the squeegee technique.
• Through endless brushstrokes and mixtures, he dissolves the primary colors into an indefinite spectrum and frees them from traditional interpretations.
• The results are highly aesthetic works that "stand for themselves".
