Published by Hermit Press, Düsseldorf. Special edition to accompany the book "Sarajevo 96" from 2001. Sarajewo 15 (2005) by Günther Uecker is a minimalist and somber screenprint that forms part of a special edition series created in conjunction with the book Sarajevo 96. In this print, Uecker continues his exploration of conflict and remembrance through abstraction. A small cluster of black marks, resembling scattered nails or shattered fragments, hovers near the center of an otherwise empty, pale field. The gesture is subtle yet deeply evocative, invoking themes of violence, fragility, and the silent persistence of memory. Known primarily for his tactile nail reliefs, Uecker here translates physicality into ink, maintaining a raw and immediate energy. The sparse composition magnifies the emotional weight of the few expressive elements, turning absence into presence. As with the other works in the series, this print was published by Hermit Press in Düsseldorf in a limited edition of 60, each hand-signed and numbered by the artist, offering a poignant meditation on Sarajevo’s wounds and the resilience embedded in its history.

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.
