"Abstraction" is a collection of works by Gerhard Richter, one of Germany's leading contemporary painters. It is still fresh in Richter's memory that a large-scale exhibition was held at the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo in 2022 to commemorate his 90th birthday (and 60th anniversary of his career as a painter). This book is a catalog published on the occasion of his solo exhibition held in Potsdam, Germany in 2018, and is a book that focuses on Richter's "Abstraction" works, one of his signature styles. In particular, the book focuses on the abstract procedures and processes of his works, and includes a series of works that are worth seeing, from the "Gray Painting" of the 1970s, which was born from doubts about painting, to "Inpainting," which focuses on the use of paint and brush strokes, to the "Color Chart" based on chance and objectivity, to a series in which a part of the palette was cut out and transferred to a large canvas.
