Published by Hermit Press, Düsseldorf. Special edition to accompany the book "Sarajevo 96" from 2001.

Sarajewo 11 (2005) by Günther Uecker is one of the most visually intense entries in his Sarajevo series, created as a special edition for the 2001 book Sarajevo 96. Known for using physical materials like nails to express trauma and resilience, Uecker translates that visceral energy into this two-dimensional screenprint with urgent and chaotic black marks. The composition is a dense tangle of lines and impressions, evocative of nails, slashes, and smears, filling the central field with violent rhythm and movement. The layering of brushstrokes and shapes suggests impact, fragmentation, and the residue of destruction—an abstract record of violence embedded in memory. Despite the abstraction, the work communicates a powerful emotional narrative, inviting the viewer to confront themes of war, suffering, and endurance. Published in an edition of 60 by Hermit Press in Düsseldorf, each print is hand-signed and numbered, offering both a meditative object and a historical witness to the pain and legacy of Sarajevo.
