Yellow-Red-Blue 1974

Gerhard Richter’s *Yellow-Red-Blue* (1974) is a striking example of the artist's abstract color chart paintings. This minimalist work is composed of hundreds of individual squares of various shades of color, arranged in a grid pattern against a pale background. Richter, known for his experimentation with different mediums, uses a combination of color and form to explore the visual qualities of painting. The grid structure creates a sense of order and repetition, while the vibrant colors create a sense of energy and movement. The painting’s minimalist style and focus on pure color are characteristic of Richter's work and reflect his fascination with the interplay between order and chaos.
