The artwork titled “Passage,” created by Gerhard Richter in 1968, is an abstract piece rendered in oil on canvas. Classified under Abstract Expressionism, this piece is currently held at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City, NY, USA.
The artwork features two vertically oblong shapes set against a neutral background. These shapes display a gradient of shades varying from dark to light, creating a sense of depth and movement within the composition. The meticulous blending of colors evokes a reflective and meditative atmosphere, common in Richter’s abstract works. The minimalist color palette and clean lines contribute to the artwork’s contemplative nature, drawing viewers into an exploration of form, light, and perception.
