サザビーズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (サザビーズInstagram)「Painted in 1997, Gerhard Richter’s monumental Abstraktes Bild (numbered "849-1") stands at more than nine feet tall and is an exquisite example of Richter's use of the “squeegee,” which enabled him to smudge and drag several thick layers of oil paint across the canvas’ surface, and in turn, concealing and distorting what lies beneath. “This is the sort of work which pronounces Richter's status as one of the world's greatest, most profound living artists. It is the first of only three paintings Richter painted in the landmark cycle of abstract paintings numbered "849" from the same year, and the only one today not held in a museum collection.” – @dgalp, Sotheby’s Head of Contemporary Art, Americas Unveiled at #SothebysParis this weekend, the work is now on view to the public through 19 October before heading to #SothebysNewYork for the Contemporary Art Evening Auction on 15 November, presented in partnership with @samsungus. #SothebysContemporary #GerhardRichter」10月17日 0時24分
