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 XII, Kreise, Dreiecke (2002) by Günther Uecker is an embossed print that continues the artist’s profound exploration of tactile visual language and abstract symbolism. Part of the Graphein series, this work features a swirling, spiral-like arrangement of raised dots on handmade Eskulan paper, creating a dynamic structure that radiates outward in a pattern reminiscent of natural formations, constellations, or energy flows. The title, referencing "circles" and "triangles," hints at geometry and universal order, even though the embossed forms themselves are soft and organic. Devoid of ink or color, the image emerges solely through light, texture, and shadow, reinforcing Uecker’s interest in perception beyond the visual. The piece invites close inspection and contemplation, encouraging viewers to engage with the materiality of the surface and the invisible meaning it might contain. Co-published by Dorothea van der Koelen in Mainz and Edouard Weiss in Paris, and issued in an edition of 120 plus additional artist’s proofs, this print reflects Uecker’s meditative approach to form, presence, and the spiritual dimension of mark-making.

What is activist art?
Activist Art is a form of art created to address social and political issues. It often involves public engagement and works closely with communities to raise awareness or inspire change. While it can include elements of performance art, it is not limited to this form. Examples include creating and distributing social protest posters or organizing community-based art projects that highlight specific causes.
