translate English to French: Gerhard Richter responded with a work 21 metres high and three metres wide that makes powerful use of the colours black, red and gold, which were painted onto the reverse of large glass panels to form great blocks of colour reminiscent—not without deeper meaning—of the German Federal Flag.
Gerhard Richter a créé une œuvre polychrome en noir, rouge et or, de 21 mètres de hauteur sur 3 mètres de largeur. Appliquées au dos de plaques de verre monumentales, ces couleurs évoquent – non sans intention allusive – celles du drapeau allemand.
