By specializing in abstraction in the mid-1980s, Gerhard Richter wanted to draw the viewer into an expressive reality that escapes the figurative.
He however continued to improve his palette through specific experiences such as Blau, painted in 1988, sold for $ 28,7M including premium by Sotheby's on May 14, 2014.
Karmin, opus 810-1 painted in 1994, 2 x 2 m, is one of those experimental oils on canvas. The purpose of the study is the transparent layers of carmine offering a new spectacular variant into the art of the best colorist of our time.
The strict horizontal and vertical lines created by the squeegee bring to that curtain-like painting the glowing shades of incandescence.
Karmin is estimated £ 9M, for sale by Christie's in London on February 11, lot 31.
