About Günther Uecker
Günther Uecker, born in 1930 in Wendorf/Mecklenburg, is a German painter and object artist with an international reputation. He is best known for his relief-like nail paintings.
As early as 1957, Uecker created his nail pictures on a white background, which were to become characteristic of his art from then on. He arranged the nails in symmetrical formations on panels and boards. The nail reliefs achieve a dynamic effect through the directional arrangement of the nails and the interplay of light and shadow. The white background gives the nails a dematerializing effect.
From 1976 to 1995, Uecker taught as a professor at the Academy of Art in Düsseldorf. In 1999, he designed the prayer room in the new Reichstag building in Berlin. Significant awards and exhibitions in major museums and collections around the world, such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York, pay tribute to his work. In 2015, the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen dedicated a major exhibition to the co-founder of the legendary ZERO group of artists, which drew attention to the various facets of his extensive oeuvre.
In addition to object art, his oeuvre includes paintings, installations, stage sets and films. Anyone who studies Günther Uecker's art will discover a fascinating combination of material, structure and light. The characteristic nail reliefs have an unmistakable aesthetic and radiate a special dynamism.
