// Mappenwerk Regen by Günther Uecker is a limited-edition etching created in 1992, capturing the essence of rain through minimalist and poetic typography. In this piece, Uecker presents a series of German words handwritten in a simple, childlike script, with phrases like Regen trommelnd (Rain drumming) and zärtlich weinend (tenderly weeping). The unadorned, raw handwriting amplifies the emotional resonance of the words, evoking the soft, rhythmic sound of raindrops and a gentle melancholy. Known for his tactile and sensory-driven works, Uecker here distills an experience of rain into language, allowing viewers to connect with its meditative quality. The etching measures 108 cm in height and 76 cm in width, making it a powerful yet understated exploration of nature and emotion.

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.
