Günther Uecker (*1930, Wendorf) is a German artist and member of the ZERO movement, best known for his characteristic use of nails arranged in tactile and sculptural paintings. Following his interest in Eastern philosophies, Uecker's use of nails on canvas served as a meditative ritual, with the repetitive nature of hammering transforming his theories into a lived artistic practice. Initially attracted to socialist realism during his studies in post-war Berlin, Uecker began creating reliefs in 1957. The artist met John Cage in 1959, who influenced the scope of his practice. In Uecker's later work, the artist simply starts a project and allows it to evolve wherever it needs to go, even if it ultimately escapes his control. In 1961, after joining the ZERO group alongside Heinz Mack and Otto Piene, Uecker expanded his practice to include audience participation. The artist currently lives and works in Düsseldorf, Germany. Uecker's works are part of collections at the Art Institute of Chicago, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Courtauld Institute of Art in London, among others.
