Gerhard Richter (1932–至今) 的傳奇故事！ (The Story of: Gerhard Richter (1932–Today))
- These experiments brought him to his formalum or in-paintings, in which he continued to examine the relation between representation and abstraction. What started as a representational painting was being reworked in such a manner, the imagery was entirely obliterated, using gestural brushstrokes and thick impastos. Uniquely, Richter made these gestural brushstrokes without being expressive, pulling the paint across the canvas in an emotionless manner, involving expression as an impelling force of painting. Doing so, Richter emphasised the painterly gesture, a witness of Richter's engagement towards the abstract as a counter-model of the figurative, coming to terms with the new possibilities for painting offered by abstraction and minimalism. Furthermore, from a personal perspective, the 1970s were not the happiest of years for Gerhard Richter, as his marriage with Emma was gradually coming to an end, and he lost his very dear friend Blinke Palermo unexpectedly in 1976. As a result, his grey paintings, but also his figurative works, think of his seascapes in particular, are embedded with a deep melancholy.
這些實驗將他帶入了他的 "形式畫"（formalum）或 "內畫"（in-paintings）中，在這些作品中，他繼續審視表象與抽象之間的關係。最初的表現性繪畫被重新加工，意象被完全抹去，他使用的是手勢筆觸和厚重的 "impastos"。與眾不同的是，裡希特在使用這些手勢筆觸時並不刻意表現，而是以一種毫無感情的方式將顏料拉過畫布，將表達作為繪畫的一種推動力。這樣，裡希特強調了繪畫的姿態，見證了裡希特將抽象畫作為具象畫的反面教材，開始接受抽象畫和極簡主義為繪畫帶來的新的可能性。此外，從個人角度來看，1970
- Gerhard Richter got together with Isa Genzken, one of the most important sculptors of the contemporary era, as they got married in 1982. They would move to a new and larger studio offered by Richter's gallerist Rudolf Swerner in Cologne. At this very moment, he was really getting into his stride with his abstract paintings. With his abstract paintings being very successful, there was somewhat a question mark next to his figurative paintings. However, at this point in time, he painted his iconic candles during the first half of the decade, but also new landscapes in a very close dialogue with his abstract works, indicating the close alignment of both spheres in Richter's oeuvre. Even more, during the second half of the 1980s,
格哈德-裡希特（Gerhard Richter）與當代最重要的雕塑家之一伊薩-根茲肯（Isa Genzken）於 1982 年結婚。他們搬到了裡希特的畫廊主魯道夫-施維爾納（Rudolf Swerner）在科隆提供的一個更大的新工作室。此時此刻，他的抽象畫創作才真正步入正軌。由於他的抽象畫獲得了巨大成功，他的具象畫在某種程度上被打上了問號。然而，在這一時期，他不僅在上半葉創作了標誌性的蠟燭畫，還創作了與抽象畫密切對話的新風景畫，這表明裡希特的創作中兩個領域緊密結合在一起。在 20 世紀 80 年代後半期，
