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 late modernism?
Late Modernism refers to the continuation and evolution of Modernist principles in art, architecture, and literature from the mid-20th century into the late 20th century. This movement maintains a focus on form, abstraction, and the rejection of traditional styles, but it often incorporates more complexity and ambiguity compared to early Modernism. Late Modernism explores themes such as alienation, identity, and the fragmentation of reality, reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the post-war period. It is seen in the works of architects like Louis Kahn and artists like Francis Bacon, who pushed the boundaries of Modernism while responding to the changing world around them.
