Cage

‘Cage 1’ (P19-1, 2020) is a Giclée print made after the first of Gerhard Richter’s monumental series of ‘Cage Paintings’ (2006). Originally, Richter intended for the canvases of his ‘Cage’ series to be painted after photographs of atomic structures, but unexpectedly initiated a practice of ‘unpainting’ when he became displeased with their current trajectory.
