Riassunto

This publication documents Gerhard Richter's experiment of taking an image of an original abstract painting and dividing it vertically into two. Each divided part is divided again, mirrored and repeated, producing ever narrower strips, which results in patterns. A total of 238 selected patterns are presented here. Regarded as one of the most influential and pre-eminent artists of our time, Gerhard Richter has involved himself personally and directly with this publication. His work is reproduced here with superlative attention to detail, colour and print quality. The result is a book that will satisfy the most demanding and passionate of the artist's discerning admirers.

Product Description

Divided, mirrored, repeated: ,a limitless sequence created by Gerhard Richter from an original oil painting. The image of the original painting is divided vertically into 2. Each divided part is divided again, producing 4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512,1024,2048, and 4096 strips. This process (twelve stages of division) results in 8190 strips, each of which is the height of the original image. With each stage of division the strips become narrower (a strip taken from the twelfh division is 0.08 mm wide). Each strip is then mirrored and repeated which results in patterns. The number of repetitions increases with each stage of division making patterns of consistent size. An infinite number of division is possible, but they would become visible only by enlargement. This publication presents the 238 selected patterns identified by number on the Contents page overleaf . 16mo (cm 15x22) pp. 336 Rilegato (hardback) Nuovo (New)
