12 Multiples Terragraphs (with sand) on canvas mounted on wood in a limited edition of 36 hand signed & numbered // Ouroboros #12 by Günther Uecker is a limited edition terragraph print from 2018, distinguished by its textured surface with sand on canvas, mounted on wood. Part of a series of 36, this piece embodies Uecker’s fascination with repetitive patterns and organic forms. The composition features a large circular shape rendered in earthy, ochre tones with gestural, layered strokes that create a sense of movement and depth. The texture of the sand intensifies the tactile quality of the piece, inviting viewers to explore its physicality. The circular form, reminiscent of the ancient symbol of the Ouroboros—depicting a serpent eating its own tail—suggests themes of continuity, cycles, and self-renewal.

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.
