Description

Vermalung (grau) . 1970/71. Oil, painted with the fingers, on poly paper. Butin 45. Signed, dated "70" and inscribed with direction arrows on the reverse. Unnumbered copy aside from the series of 150 unique objects (of which 20 were destroyed). 39.5 x 39 cm (15.5 x 15.3 in). The serially made works differ in terms of the monochrome color fields that fill the manually applied mesh of lines. This way each work is of unique character. According to Mr. Butin, there are two possible explanations for the date "70": the work was made beyond the edition and was erroneously dated "70" at a later point, or the work was actually made before the edition, as a sort of proof copy. The exact reason can not be identified at this late point. • Of unique character. • The "Inpaintings" were a key theme of Richter"s art in the early 1970s. • In the "Inpaintings", Richter explores and analyzes an abstract gestural painting . Accompanied by a written expertise issued by Hubertus Butin on July 9, 2020.
