The Serpentine Gallery will present an exhibition by Gerhard Richter, one of the world’s greatest living artists and arguably its greatest living painter. A major new work, entitled 4900 Colours, 2007, comprises bright monochrome squares randomly arranged in a grid formation to create stunning sheets of kaleidoscopic colour.
4900 Colours can be reconfigured in different variations, from one largescale panel to multiple, smaller panels. Richter has developed a special version of 49 paintings especially for the Serpentine Gallery.
