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 Op Art?
Op Art is a visual art style that uses optical illusions to create the impression of movement, vibrating patterns, flashing, or hidden images. The works are typically abstract, with many well-known pieces in black and white. The roots of Op Art can be traced back to earlier movements like Futurism, Constructivism, Dada, and Neo-Impressionism, particularly in their use of color effects and graphic design.
