192 Farben 1966

"192 Farben" (1966) by Gerhard Richter (b. 1932) is an abstract work of art composed of a grid of 192 small, individually painted squares. It is a prime example of Richter’s Color Chart series, a collection of paintings that explore the nature of color and its impact on viewers. The work is devoid of any symbolic or narrative elements, allowing the colors to speak for themselves. It reflects Richter's exploration of minimalist abstract painting with its emphasis on chromatic harmony and systematic arrangement of colors. The work is a fascinating example of how abstract art can still hold a captivating aesthetic.
