Günther Uecker (1930) - Hiob Seite 16

This is an outstanding and deeply conceived original graphic by the world-renowned German ZERO artist Günther Uecker. For this offered work, it is “Hiob Page 16” from the monumental, 47-part portfolio series “The Book of Job,” which ranks among the most significant and moving cycles of graphics in the artist’s late œuvre. A complete copy of this cherished portfolio is among the holdings of the German Bundestag’s art collection in the Reichstag building in Berlin. Motif & Expression: A field almost completely dominated by deep black printing ink governs the sheet. The dense surface is broken up by twisting, drawn and scratched white traces that render the immense, physical energy of the artist perceptible. A masterful testament to Informel and Abstract Expressionism, far from Uecker’s purely mathematical nail works. Technological Specialty (Terragraphy): Printed in the renowned Har-El atelier in Jaffa, Israel. The innovative Terragraph technique fuses classic screen printing with real, mixed-in sand. This gives the work a unique, tactile, and relief-like surface texture. • Artist: Günther Uecker (1930–2025) • Title of the work: Hiob Page 16 (from the portfolio “The Book of Job”) • Year of creation: 2006 (published in the artist’s book 2007) • Technique: Terragraphy (sand printing) and screen printing on heavy hand-made paper/velin • Print workshop: Har-El Print Workshop, Jaffa (Israel) • Format: approx. 52 x 50 cm (overall format when opened as a double sheet approx. 100 x 50 cm) • Signature: Hand-signed, numbered, and dated by the artist • Total edition: Limited edition of 99 Arabic-numbered copies (plus a few A.P. / P.P. artist’s proofs) Note on the work: The buyer will receive a copy from the total edition; it is not guaranteed that it corresponds to the illustrative lot number visible in the photo.
