"Richter uses digital software to compose his picture planes, layering band upon colored band to build up a complex network of patterns. A single work, Richter’s Abstract Painting, 724-4, 1990, gives rise to all 19 paintings in the show. Working with strips of color from his earlier abstraction, Richter observes an exacting practice: slicing, mirroring, and repeatedly breaking down the colored bands into smaller and smaller striations. Richter then manually rearranges the developed patterns, creating wholly new ones, and riffs on the principle of chance, a long fascination of his. Once satisfied, Richter then rephotographs his creations and ends up with the digital prints on display; the final 8,190 striations maintain a sense of rhythm and ineffable order." - Adriano
