Gerhard Richter ‘Abstraktes Bild (940-7)’ | Hong Kong | June 2021

With an astoundingly vast and versatile body of work that spans over half a century, Gerhard Richter is without a doubt one of the greatest artists of our time, and “Abstraktes Bild (940-7)” stands as the ultimate culmination to his epic career-long investigation into the formal possibilities of painting.
