Belgium's most famous contemporary art museumSMAKRichter exhibition held in 2018. There were a total of 48 exhibitions, but the exhibition sense was wonderful.

So, at this timethis work.​ ​

`` Blanket '' 1988, Oil on Canvas, 200x140cm

There are only three works of this type of abstract in the world (one in Japan), and below is a picture of a different concrete figure (person, still life, landscape) It was a work that was repainted on top of it and reborn as an abstract. This work, which was on display at SMAK at that time, was actually drawn for MOMA's famous 15-piece series "October 18, 1977," but was not selected for the final 15 works.

This series was explained clearly, including its relevance to the Red Army.siteAs mentioned in that, there is a work that has two pictures of the same composition in the atelier's photo, although there is only one in the final series. . Yes, you painted white on one of them and it was reborn as an abstract work.

Probably, the left side was selected as a series, and the right side became a bot, and later, it became an abstract. You can see it by looking at the upper left corner of the work.

Such works are sometimes found in Richter. Sometimes there are abstracts painted landscape paintings, and it's interesting because it has the title of the original sketch. In particular, this work is a piece of a famous series that originated in MOMA, so the owner is also very satisfied, and I think this is one of the ways to enjoy the work. It's a luxurious story.

 

By the way, this work came to Japan. It was about half the size of the previous work. What this sketch was on another occasion.
