Lot no. 43
ZERO Günther Uecker Written Pictures VII. 2014. Colour lithograph on wove paper. 45.5 x 60.5 cm. Signed, numbered and dated. Mounted in spots on support and mounted in passepartout. One of 85 copies. - Part of a seven-part portfolio in which Uecker focuses on the connection between writing and image. Based on the idea of the "written image", characters are not understood as carriers of linguistic information, but as visual elements. The calligraphic-looking lines and signs are reminiscent of handwritten notations, which develop an emotional and rhythmic effect through their gestural quality. The focus is not on legibility, but on the visual presence of the signs as carriers of expression. Colour lithograph on wove paper. Signed, numbered and dated.
