The colour chart pictures of Gerhard Richters

About

Colour panel paintings as an artistic concept and pictorial design form occupy a central position in Richter's oeuvre. The lecture will compare these paintings and prints with works by other artists and will bring out the aspects that are fundamental to Richter: the idea of colour as a readymade by using colour sample cards as templates, the use of strictly serial grid structures, the concept of chance as a principle for constituting the image, the rejection of traditional colour theories, and the extensive elimination of subjective categories. Among other things, the lecture will present several works that can also be seen in the current exhibition in me Collectors Room Berlin.
