Some of the best explanation of Richter I’ve seen. 👏🏽

With abstracts, there are many times I can’t explain WHY I like certain pieces but just know within seconds after seeing them, that I LOVE certain ones. I think Storr here helps shed some light on how Richter’s pieces manage to do this for me and many others I’m sure. There’s still some aspects to these and other works that just can’t be put to words, since there are no words in our vocabulary that can explain the wide array of complex sensations that different visual images and artworks can make us feel. Very well done!!

About the shandow of the donkey.

It's weird, but even his totally abstract work has an air of a photograph to it, a heavily distorted destroyed photographs. The amount of quality he makes is astonishing. Definitely an inspiration

Great document!

Nice! Great artist!

One of them could go with my sofa.

Bravo! I have subscribed.

Гениальное в простом.......Гений !!!......и видно что трудяга.......

Some artists like Pollock and Richter are very kind considering their talent and training to show in their art that art is an expression and anyone can do art.

I wish the resolution was at least HD...

.....einer der Besten.

4:14 is a beautiful picture!

Good video, except for the statement that Cage was always after the sound of a prepared piano. Cage's prepared piano pieces were not composed through his whole life, but were relatively early works. So he wasn't interested in that sound beyond a certain point. It might be more accurate to say that, for most of his career, Cage wasn't after any particular sound at all, although his processes sometimes did tend to create a certain sort of sound world.

An excellent dissertation on "Heartless Art" and "Brilliant Technique". Storr (unintentionally) has captured the essence of Richter's Darwinian evolution, having successful removed the "Life Force" that imbues great painting / art with power and significance. Richter's works are spectacles of repetition performed by a Maestro of Manipulation. I have observed that Culture rarely allows an individual of Conscience to succeed. Great artist have always resisted / protested the seductions and dysfunctions of their times - (e.g. Goya's and Picasso's anti war paintings ) If Richter were to possess such a quality it is a silent scream, by a perfect Faustian Hero in our "Culture of Death".

Nossa, que trem doido!

Hasta que punto se puede degradar el noble arte de la pintura?

Bleeding your soul onto a canvas doesn't require it to take any particular shape or shade. It just requires you to bleed. Once you start caring about the technicalities and populous opinion-you've run out of blood.

10:57 was good too!

This is a great video to forward to the many detractors of Richter's work here on the KZfaq comments section. There is a lot of misunderstanding about the conceptual element inherent in Richter leading to many many acrimonious exchanges. Please don't get sucked into debating artistic merit. Please try to educate instead of escalate. Link to this video next time somebody says that their kid can do better.

Bueno pero q no tarde tanto en bajar y q no se corten pues ni con 4g

I'm repeating myself from an earlier post, but let me say this again: Richter's work is not something anybody can do, although a lot of people think so. With that being said, given my own talent, I can do what Richter does, but the difference between him and me is that he has large amounts of money to create his work. I would have to save up for a year for paint and a large canvas to create what he does; then I would sitll need money to market the work..marketing is his real secrect.

Richter's work is great, if you're looking at the realist stuff. But with this squeegee art, what is it beyond special effects? How long does it take to see a room full of them, a minute?

12:30

Don’t nobody tell Gerhard! 😅

Bla bla bla... they all love to talk about something that cannot be described

You are correct in that you didn't use the WORD "drawing" but you did use the word "draw" implying the use of a verb.You are probably putting me on with your talk, and you are probably smarter than you act, but I'll let you have the last word. (BTW, art has always been about experssion, regardless if the artist is famous and making money from his art or not, I think we both agree on that!

I love this shit, but I recognise that, with enough money, and a filtration process, that anything is possible. Each painting costs $1000s to produce but what is the waste %? It does matter when you consider the state of the world.

First of all, I didn't mention anything about "drawing." Richter's recent works are not "drawings," they are "paintings." Richter didn't come up with the "style" as you call it. The style is called "abstraction" or "abstract expressionism," an art form underway in Germany when he was born. He came from a well to do family, but developed his talent as an apprentice. Your ignorance of art is astounding. People like you always use the "F" word when you don't have anything intelligent to say.

You have a short attention span. Your first comment to me contained the words "drawing" and "style" hence the use of quotation marks. Both of these words would not have been used by Richter to describe his own work. When you learn the English language instead of ebonics you might make more sense in your own explanations. If you think art doesn't depend on money and marketing, then you don't understand the art world. Check out Richter's biography, you will be amazed and might learn something!!!!!

Was für ein Babbler, statt die Bilder zu zeigen

People give so much money for sucks.

Crap. All of it crap.

Got to say again. I know it's sometimes difficult to see quality through work, especially from those that are revered in the artworld as a lot is extremely overrated moneylaundering garbage. But Richter is genuine. I make abstract work, people have no clue how difficult it is, I can draw like the greatest in history easily, I don't even come close to a Richter painting. Once you start seeing the beauty and elegance and balance and color schemes, and you then look at amateur abstract work, the difference is worlds apart. To achieve this level consistently, can only be because of how good Richter is.
