The catalogue of the exhibition Gerhard Richter. Abstract Paintings 2009 at the Marian Goodman Gallery in New York concentrates on Richter’s works from 2008 and 2009. Besides his abstract paintings in oil on canvas, works in oil on wood and on aludibond are also taken into account, as is the series of reverse glass paintings Sinbad.
An essay by Benjamin H. D. Buchloh focuses on some large scale abstract paintings from 2009, which are executed in light tones and appear to be almost monochrome.
