Embossed print hand-painted with acrylic paint on handmade paper - Signed, dated, and numbered // Günther Uecker’s Untitled (nails) (1992) is a limited-edition mixed media artwork that combines his signature use of nails with an embossed print technique. The piece features an intricate pattern of raised, embossed nails arranged in random directions across the handmade paper. Uecker has hand-painted the work with acrylic paint, creating a subtle, monochromatic texture that emphasizes the tactile and physical nature of the nails. The abstract arrangement of the nails evokes a sense of movement and rhythm, characteristic of Uecker’s exploration of materiality and space. The interplay of light and shadow on the embossed surface gives the work a sculptural quality, blurring the boundaries between two-dimensional and three-dimensional art. This piece reflects Uecker’s ongoing interest in themes of tension, structure, and the human impact on the environment.

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.
