Townscape M9 1968

Gerhard Richter's "Townscape M9" (1968) exemplifies his abstract style. This monochrome work depicts an urban landscape in muted shades of grey and white, capturing a sense of both dynamism and stillness. The abstract shapes are suggestive of buildings, creating a fragmented and disorienting view of a city. Richter’s work often explores themes of memory, perception, and the blurring of reality, evident in the ambiguous and ethereal representation of the townscape.
