Verstörung. 1987.
Mixed media. Nails and black paint on canvas, on panel.
Signed and dated in the lower right. Once more signed and dated on the reverse, as well as inscribed with a direction arrow. 90 x 90 x 14 cm (35.4 x 35.4 x 5.5 in).
• Powerful nail painting with an impressive aura.
• Poetry of destruction: subtle duality of destruction and vulnerability.
• Radical and complex: gestural finger marks, fractured surface, relief-like overpainting, and a subtle interplay of light and shadow.
• Part of the same private collection since its creation and now offered on the international art market for the first time.
PROVENANCE: Private collection, North Rhine-Westphalia (obtained from the artist onthe day of its completion in 1987).
Ever since in family ownership.
"I have never seen myself as an aggressor. This aggression that people attribute to me does not even exist. It is tenderness, but with a touch of impertinence, of intrusiveness. This tenderness is a longing for love."
Günther Uecker, quoted from: www.ndr.de/kultur/kunst/Guenther-Uecker-feiert-95-Geburtstag-Ein-Leben-fuer-die-Kunst,guentheruecker100.html
