(*) 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 and sculptural paintings. Following his interest in Eastern philosophies, Uecker's use of screws on canvas served as a meditative ritual, with the repetitive nature of hammering, turning his theories into a lived artistic practice. Initially attracted to Socialist Realist painting while studying in 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 starts a project and lets it take him where it needs to go, wherever he is, even if it ultimately is out of his hands. In 1961, after joining the ZERO group alongside Heinz Mack and Otto Piene, Uecker expanded 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.
