Description from the seller
On Injuries – Connections
Günther Uecker was once a core member of the artist group ZERO, founded in the 1950s, and is among the best-known German artists. His international exhibitions in the most renowned museums attest to his influence that reaches far beyond the country’s borders.
“Where language fails, the image begins” is a oft-quoted line by Günther Uecker. For him, images are a universal means of communication that expresses the unsayable. The motif of the nail plays a special role and has become his “trademark.”
The screen print on chamois-colored paper shows nail motifs in deep black, lying over a layer of impulsively smudged abstract fingerprints of the artist in dark gray. The title of the work, together with the motif, carries an ambiguity and points to how things are connected: “Injuries – Connections” presents the viewer with pain and healing, hardness and suppleness. Everything is interconnected. This work has depth; it is aesthetically striking and is at the same time a very characteristic work by Günther Uecker.
The work is sold unframed.
