One of the world's leading painters will show a specially-created major new work at the Serpentine Gallery this autumn. Gerhard Richter, who is widely regarded as Germany's leading living artist, has created 4900 Colours: Version II for the show, which opens next month.
The painting, in enamel, is a huge grid-like patchwork of vivid monochrome squares, measuring 6.8m-x-6.8m. It resembles a grid of pixels from a distance, or an immersion in colour from close-up. It can be displayed as a single large-format artwork, or reconfigured as a series of smaller panels.
Richter has created a special version of 49 paintings specially for the Serpentine exhibition, which runs from September 23 to November 16.
