Abstract Painting 825-II, 69 Details
Each page of this tiny hardcover book (it measures 7 1/2 by 4  3/4 inches) presents one of 69 details of a single abstract painting  by German artist Gerhard Richter. Richter photographed the details  head-on, thus compelling viewers to look at each of the details as a  new painting, a whole unto itself. Each fragment fills an entire page;  blank pages are inserted between the details. Each of these new  paintings could be considered a candidate for further examination,  cleverly forcing viewers to adjust and reexamine their ways of seeing.
