Note du spécialiste

'My small abstract paintings... allowed me to do what I had never let myself do; put something down at random. And then, of course, I realized that it never can be random. It was all a way of opening a door for me' (G. Richter quoted in H. Obrist, ed., Gerhard Richter: The Daily Practice of Painting Writings and Interviews 1962-1993, London 1995, pp. 215-216).
