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 VIII, Christen Ägypten (2002) by Günther Uecker is a refined embossed print from his Graphein series, a body of work that explores the act of writing and marking as both a physical and spiritual gesture. Created on handmade Eskulan paper, the work features an array of raised dots arranged in a subtle, radiating pattern, evoking both braille and celestial constellations. The tactile surface, devoid of color or pigment, emphasizes form and light—hallmarks of Uecker’s approach to sensory and meditative expression. The title refers to Christian communities in Egypt, possibly invoking themes of endurance, silent testimony, and cultural memory. This minimalist yet deeply symbolic piece invites the viewer to read through touch, reflection, and light, rather than language. Published in an edition of 120, with additional artist’s copies, it was co-produced by Dorothea van der Koelen in Mainz and Edouard Weiss in Paris, further affirming its place in Uecker’s philosophical and materially resonant oeuvre.

What is kinetic art?
Artwork by Jesus Rafael Soto

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.
