"I don't have a specific image in mind, I want to end up with an image that I hadn't planned at all. So, this method of working with arbitrariness, chance, inspiration and destruction allows a certain type of picture to emerge, but never a predetermined one. The respective picture should develop from a painterly or visual logic, emerge as if inevitably."
Gerhard Richter in a conversation with Interview 1990, 1990
