Viewing  Gerhard Richter’s hypnotic abstractions at David Zwirner

Head to David Zwirner to lose yourself in the mesmerising smudges, smears and drips of German artist Gerhard Richter. Coloured lacquer swirls behind glass and clouds of ink billow across paper in the exhibition, which includes works made from 2010 up until August last year.

Coinciding with his three-venue exhibition in the Swiss Alps, the London show charts the progression of his work in recent years, including one of his largest ever Strip “paintings” – made by abstracting his work on a computer and digitally printing it – as well as oil paintings made just before he decided to focus on drawing and installation, as spotlighted in the show. At 91 years old, the German artist continues to surprise.
