Item description from seller

First edition. Original wrappers. Still in publisher's numbered box. One of the signed 200 copies of a limited edition totaling 800 copies. De Luxe edition. Subtitle: DIVIDED MIRRORED. Each of the 246 double page images has been produced by the same lacquer covering process as the individual prints later made from the Patterns, in a 7-colour Aniva system on 200 grams per cubic metre Galaxi Supermat paper. As described by the publishers: Gerhard Richter took an image of his painting Abstract Painting (724-4), 1990 (which hung above the breakfast/dinner table for 17 years) and divides this 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 divisions are possible, but they would become visible only 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 publication results in documenting the listed 221 patterns on 246 double page images. Patterns is published in a limited edition of 800 numbered copies, of which 50 h.c. copies are numbered with Roman numerals I-L. The copies nos. 1 - 200 are signed and are designated an artist s book signed edition. Still in original publishers packaging and mailing box, unopened.
