The Mathematical Sublime: Gerhard Richter’s 1024 COLOURS (1973)
Elevate your space with an archival masterpiece that endures. Gerhard Richter’s 1024 COLOURS (1024 Farben) from 1973 represents a pivotal moment in contemporary art history, where systematic precision meets the randomness of color theory. This iconic work from Richter’s Color Chart series moves away from traditional expressionism toward a conceptual exploration of objective aesthetic. At RedKalion, we have curated this museum-quality reproduction to meet the highest standards of the modern collector.
Industrial Precision on Brushed Aluminum DIBOND®
To honor the industrial roots of Richter’s inspiration—commercial paint samples—this piece is expertly rendered on Brushed Silver Aluminum DIBOND®. This substrate provides a sophisticated, rigid base that is 3mm (0.12") thick, ensuring a lifetime of durability without warping. The unique horizontal grain of the metallic finish creates a dynamic interplay with light, adding a depth that traditional paper prints cannot achieve.
- Direct Printing Technology: We utilize advanced direct-to-material printing for vivid color saturation and a refined matte finish.
- Metallic Silver Effect: Any white or unprinted areas of the 1024-grid reveal the raw, brushed aluminum surface, creating a striking visual contrast.
- Glare-Free Viewing: The matte finish ensures the artwork remains the focal point, even in rooms with high ambient light or direct windows.
- Ready to Exhibit: Each 70x100 cm print includes a specialized hanging kit tailored to your region, allowing for an effortless, professional installation.

What is the material used for this Gerhard Richter print?
The artwork is printed on 3mm (0.12") Brushed Silver Aluminum DIBOND®. This premium material features a horizontal grain and a metallic finish that provides a durable, rigid base for high-end art reproductions.
Is the mounting hardware included with the print?

How do the colors interact with the brushed metal surface?
The direct print process ensures vivid colors with a matte finish. Notably, any white areas in the original design are left unprinted, allowing the silver brushed aluminum to shine through for a contemporary metallic effect.
What are the shipping logistics for a 70x100 cm print?
RedKalion utilizes robust, protective packaging to ensure your archival-grade print arrives in pristine condition. Shipping times vary by region, but all orders are tracked and handled by specialized art couriers.
What is the archival longevity of an aluminum DIBOND® print?
Aluminum DIBOND® is highly resistant to environmental factors. The combination of UV-resistant inks and a rust-proof aluminum substrate ensures the print will maintain its structural integrity and color vibrancy for decades.
What is the significance of the number 1024 in Richter's work?
In his 1973 series, 1024 represents a mathematical progression (4 to the power of 5). Richter used a systematic formula to multiply colors, removing personal artistic choice to explore pure chromatic relationships.
Why did Gerhard Richter choose a grid format for this series?
The grid format was inspired by industrial color charts. By using a grid, Richter aimed to create a "perfect painting" that lacked a traditional focal point, emotional bias, or hierarchical structure.
