Das Künstlerbuch dokumentiert Gerhard Richters Experiment der Zerlegung einer Reproduktion eines seiner Abstrakten Bilder [WVZ: 724-4] in vertikale Streifen: erst 2, dann 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, bis hin zu 4096 Streifen. Der Prozess dieser 12 stufigen Zerlegung resultiert in 8190 Streifen, wobei die Breite jedes Streifens der Breite des originalen Bildes entspricht. Mit jeder Stufe der Zerlegung werden die Streifen zunehmend dünner (ein Streifen der 12ten Zerlegung ist 0,08 mm). Eine unendliche Zerlegung ist möglich, jedoch würden diese Streifen nur noch in der Vergrößerung sichtbar werden.
Jeder Streifen ist dann gespiegelt und wird wiederholt, dabei ergeben sich Muster. Die Anzahl der Wiederholungen nimmt zu mit jeder Zerlegung, um ein Muster mit immer gleicher Größe zu erhalten. Die dokumentierten Ergebnisse von 238 aufgelisteten Mustern sind publiziert auf 238 doppelseitigen Bildern.

The artist's book documents Gerhard Richter’s experiment of taking an image of his original Abstract Painting [CR: 724-4] and dividing it vertically into strips: first 2, then 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, up to 4096 strips. This process (twelve stages of division) results in 8190 strips, each of which is the height of the original image. With each stage of division the strips become progressively thinner (a strip of the 12th division is 0.08 mm). Endless more divisions are possible, but they would soon only become visible by enlargement. Each strip is then mirrored and repeated, which results in patterns. The number of repetitions increases with each stage of division in order to make patterns of consistent size. The result of 238 listed patterns is published on 238 double page images.
