Embossed prints, on Eskulan paper, with accompanying text sheet. Signed, dated, and numbered. Co-published by Dorothea van der Koelen, Mainz and Edouard Weiss, Paris. Literature: Van der Koelen, Dorothea and Martin (eds.): Günther Uecker - Opus Liber, Directory of Bibliophile Books and Works, Mainz 2007, Cat. No. L 0203, ill. pp. 507-511. Graphein II, Shang Dynastie (2002) by Günther Uecker is an embossed print from his profound Graphein series, created on handmade Eskulan paper. The work presents a densely textured field of small, raised dots distributed in an undulating wave-like pattern, invoking tactile readings and meditative perception. The title refers to the Shang Dynasty, one of China’s earliest historical civilizations, evoking themes of ancient knowledge, script, and spiritual resonance. Uecker's minimalist, inkless approach emphasizes light and surface, encouraging viewers to engage with the piece through touch, shadow, and intuition. The visual rhythm of the dots resembles coded language or archaeological terrain, merging abstraction with historical depth. Published in an edition of 120 with additional artist’s copies, and co-produced by Dorothea van der Koelen in Mainz and Edouard Weiss in Paris, this print reflects Uecker’s ongoing exploration of memory, time, and the physicality of inscription.

What is Process Art?
Process Art is an artistic movement and creative approach where the focus is on the act of creation rather than the final product. The term process in this context refers to the various stages of art-making, including gathering, sorting, associating, and organizing materials and actions. This movement emphasizes the artistic journey and the human expression involved in creating art, rather than the finished piece itself. Process Art is driven by inherent motivation, intentionality, and the rationale behind the actions, viewing the creative process as the true artwork.
