Summary
In contrast to his colour-intensive abstractions, which have dominated Gerhard Richter's oeuvre for decades, works that refuse any colouring are the focus of this publication. From the beginning of Richter's creative output, grey tones have been a central theme - from figurative and non-representational paintings and prints to photographs and objects. The artist attaches central importance to the colour grey. For him, it stands for blurriness and neutrality, in short: for Richter's freedom to be without judgement: For me, grey is the welcome and only possible equivalent to indifference, refusal to make a statement, lack of opinion, lack of form. (Gerhard Richter, 1975). -- (from publisher)
