// Helles Nagelkreuz by Günther Uecker, crafted in 2017, is a bronze sculpture shaped as a cross, wrapped with textured elements that mimic nails or wire entwined around its structure. The surface bears a distressed appearance, with a metallic finish that evokes both resilience and vulnerability. Uecker, known for his works incorporating nails, uses the cross form to explore themes of suffering, faith, and endurance. The twisted, chaotic lines across the sculpture suggest tension and entrapment, making this piece a powerful meditation on the human condition, spirituality, and sacrifice.

What is ‘light and space’?
The Light and Space Movement refers to loosely affiliated art movements connected to minimalism, geometric abstraction, and op art that originated in Southern California in the 1960s. Greatly influenced by artist John McLaughlin, these artists focused on sensory phenomena such as light, perception, and space as central elements of their work. They also incorporated cutting-edge technologies from the aerospace and engineering industries to develop light-filled and sensuous objects, creating immersive experiences that emphasize the viewer's perception.
