The Christie's auction is underway, and Richter's abstract paintings have totaled 140,400,000 Hong Kong dollars, and several 0s cannot be counted.
Jerhard Richter (b. 1932) Abstract Painting 747-1, oil on canvas, 1991.
Licht's Abstract Painting 747-1, painted in 1991, set a new world auction record when it first appeared on the auction in 2007. At first glance, the work has no specific theme, and its title can be literally translated as "abstract pattern". Richter experimented with a new creative tool, the squeegee, which later became the tool he has been using to this day and became synonymous with Richter's work.
The red color in the painting is worth mentioning, reminiscent of similar colorful colors in Titian's works, and Mark Rothko's masterpiece of deep spirituality.
In 2011, Richter said, "With a brush, you have control over the picture." Paint sticks to the brush, it's up to you to define the picture... You'll be in control of what happens on the screen. But if you use an ink scraper, you lose control of the picture. The artist seems to enjoy the out-of-control experience. It is worth mentioning that the fundamental significance of Richter's decision to use a scraper is actually an affirmation of creative control. The angle and pressure of the scraper, like the color and type of paint, are entirely determined by the artist himself. These works are therefore representative works of Richter.
