RICHTER. Wilmes, Ulrich

ed. Cl. Ostfildern, 2009

Book ID: 80723

His abstract paintings present a heavily worked surface, blurred and scraped to both veil and expose prior layers. Unlike much heavily worked abstraction, and in spite of their scale, their total effect is not heroic-Richter's almost-deadpan, process-oriented transparency cancels out such chest-beating-but the artist that responded to the direct energies of Pollock's work has clearly found a way, some decades later, to conjure both zest and detachment simultaneously.
