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 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.
