(*) Günther Uecker (*1930, Wendorf) is a German artist and a member of the ZERO movement, best known for his distinctive use of screws arranged in tactile paintings and sculptural works. Following his interest in Eastern philosophies, the use of screws on canvas by Uecker served as a meditative ritual, with the repetitive nature of hammering, turning his theories into a lived artistic practice. Attracted first to the Socialist Realist painting style while studying postwar Berlin, Uecker began creating reliefs in 1957. The artist met John Cage in 1959, who influenced the scope of his practice. In Uecker's later work, the artist simply initiates a project and lets it take him wherever it needs to go, wherever he is, even if it ultimately ends up out of his hands. In 1961, after joining the ZERO group alongside Heinz Mack and Otto Piene, Uecker broadened his practice to include audience participation. The artist currently lives and works in Düsseldorf, Germany. Uecker's works are in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Courtauld Institute of Art in London, among others.
