Vertical Line: This painting is composed of numerous vertical strokes placed next to one another. By doing so, Grosse has created an illusion of movement and combines the separate elements into a unified work.

Repetition: This piece utilizes the repetiton of color and vertical line in a way that allows the strokes themselves to be the focal point and subject of the work.

Katharina Grosse, 2019

Color: In this piece, Grosse uses color to organize her abstract marks into a complex, yet unified, object. The high contrast between the different hues sparks visual interest in a cyclical manner, and the use of negative space allows viewers to recognize the color of the paper itself as it contributes to the work as a whole.
