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 ‘light and space’?
The Light and Space Movement refers to loosely affiliated art movements connected to minimalism, geometric abstraction, and op art that originated in Southern California in the 1960s. Greatly influenced by artist John McLaughlin, these artists focused on sensory phenomena such as light, perception, and space as central elements of their work. They also incorporated cutting-edge technologies from the aerospace and engineering industries to develop light-filled and sensuous objects, creating immersive experiences that emphasize the viewer's perception.
