Tree slice, nailed (wood, glue, ash, nails, black paint) and charcoal drawing on double sheet - Signed and numbered // Günther Uecker’s Baum. Kunstpranger (1984) is a compelling mixed media sculpture that combines natural elements with industrial materials, showcasing Uecker's signature use of nails. The artwork features a slice of tree embedded with nails in an abstract arrangement, symbolizing the tension between nature and human intervention. The rough texture of the wood and ash contrasts with the sharp, metallic nails, creating a tactile and visually dynamic piece. Accompanied by a charcoal drawing on a double sheet, the work evokes themes of destruction, creation, and transformation. Uecker’s use of nails, often seen as a metaphor for pain or human impact on the environment, invites viewers to reflect on the fragility of nature and the consequences of human actions.

What is kinetic art?
Kinetic art is an international movement that emerged in the 1920s and gained prominence in the 1960s, referring to art that involves both apparent and real motion. It encompasses any medium that includes movement, either relying on actual motion for its effect or being perceived as moving by the viewer. Early examples include canvas paintings designed to create optical illusions of movement. Today, kinetic art often refers to three-dimensional figures and sculptures, such as those operated by machines or those that move naturally. The movement covers a variety of styles and techniques that frequently overlap.
