17 3 92 — Fine Art

Thick white paint sits over a grey ground in 17 3 92. The marks move sideways across the sheet and fade near the edges. Gerhard Richter made this kind of painted surface in his abstract work. The whole field stays soft and uneven.

This fine art print uses a matte paper so the grey tones do not shine. The frame can match the room you pick, with a light finish on a dark wall or a wood finish near wooden furniture. You see the paint layer as a flat sheet.

It fits a hallway wall lit by a single bulb. From the landing you read the broad grey band, and from the stairs you notice the small white runs near the bottom.
