Levy Gorvy Günther Uecker: Notations
Iconic nail paintings and watercolors from Günther Uecker, famed for his participation in Group ZERO Featuring both the nail paintings for which Günther Uecker (born 1930) is best known, plus watercolors made during his many travels, Notations provides an unusual dual-take on the German sculptor, op artist and installation artist. Made in collaboration with Uecker, the publication includes poems that Uecker wrote during his journeys, and excerpts from a day-long conversation and studio visit with Uecker by Hans Ulrich Obrist. To create his signature nail paintings, Uecker works a mixture of white paint and carpenter’s glue into a dense, visceral surface, then hammers nails into the panels, varying their placement and groupings intuitively to form undulating painted reliefs that cast shadows in constant motion. Uecker’s watercolors reveal a wholly different aspect of the artist’s oeuvre. These watercolors are made spontaneously on the road, during travels across Australia, Brazil, Egypt, Germany, Israel, Japan, the United States and Vietnam.

De Gruyter Der geschundene Mensch: Günther Ueckers konzeptuelle Historienbilder
Die Schriftenreihe Notizen zu Uecker macht die Forschungsergebnisse der StipendiatInnen des Günther Uecker Instituts der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich. Der Akzent der geförderten Projekte liegt auf einer lebendigen Auseinandersetzung mit dem Werk Günther Ueckers. Den Auftakt bildet die Untersuchung der Kunsthistorikerin und Historikerin für den Nahen Osten und Turkologie, Katrin Nahidi. Sie analysiert die Arbeit Gerät (auf Wörtern) von Uecker, die im Rahmen des Werkkomplexes Der geschundene Mensch (1992/93) entstand. Zentral ist dabei die begriffliche Verbindung von Konzeptkunst und Historienmalerei zum ‚konzeptuellen Historienbild‘. Nahidi beleuchtet so die Ausstellungsgeschichte dieses Werkes und daran angebunden, wie es kulturpolitisch und interkulturell Wirkung entfaltet.
