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 Earth Art?
Earth art, also known as Land Art, emerged in the 1960s and 70s as part of the conceptual art movement. It involves creating artworks by sculpting the land or constructing structures in the landscape using natural materials like earth, rocks, or twigs. These works are often large-scale and emphasize the relationship between art and nature.
