Gerhard Richter — Abstraktes Bild (1986) A monumental canvas from the breakthrough series that defined Richter’s abstract language. 1986 was the year he abandoned the brush for the squeegee, creating shifting layers of color through scraping, dragging, and chance. One of the largest works from the cycle — and one of the rarest — it returned to Sotheby’s in 2023 with a £20 million estimate. A landmark in the evolution of contemporary abstraction. #artreel #gerhardrichter #abstractart #contemporar
