// 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 late modernism?
Late Modernism refers to the continuation and evolution of Modernist principles in art, architecture, and literature from the mid-20th century into the late 20th century. This movement maintains a focus on form, abstraction, and the rejection of traditional styles, but it often incorporates more complexity and ambiguity compared to early Modernism. Late Modernism explores themes such as alienation, identity, and the fragmentation of reality, reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the post-war period. It is seen in the works of architects like Louis Kahn and artists like Francis Bacon, who pushed the boundaries of Modernism while responding to the changing world around them.
