Descriptif du lot

‘Objects have too much importance… they give the painting too much direction. Colour and structure are not given a chance to stand on their own. Because abstract painting does not represent – there is no man or table or whatever – one must make sure that the relationship of colour and structure is right’ (G. Richter, quoted in ‘An Interview’, in The Print Collector’s Newsletter, Vol 16., Sept-Oct 1985, p.123).
