Gerhard Richter's newest facsimile-like artist's book is focused on a single work comprising twenty-six drawings in pencil and ink.

"[Richter's drawings] are of stringent individuality and recognizably by Richter's hand, not based on their signature style but rather because they make their theme the act of drawing itself, gauging the conditions of drawing." --Dieter Schwarz

In this new body of work, Richter combines various elements from a limited set of forms and techniques--including meandering lines, broad tonal planes applied with angled strokes of graphite, and passages of smudging, hatching, and erasure--thereby uniting choice and chance through this infinitely generative process. The resulting works on paper serve as condensed expressions, encapsulating and refining the fundamental principles that have consistently defined Richter's artistic journey. Reproduced at actual size, the drawings encourage in-depth observation as well as inspire compelling reimagining of abstraction.
