Raimund Girke

Raimund Girke is a German artist known for his minimalist and monochromatic abstract paintings. He was at the origin of analytical painting, participated in the 1977 edition of Documenta VI in Kassel, Germany, and is widely known for his explorations of white.

Raimund Hirke belonged to a generation of young European artists who overcame the subjectivism of abstract expressionism and sought new, objective, reductive expressions based on scientific and mathematical principles. Girke's paintings were characterized by loose compositions and a limited colour palette, often with subtle variations in shades of white or grey.
