Günther Uecker – A unique work of art: Drawing in pencil with original metal nail – 1997
This special work by Günther Uecker from 1990 is a rare and authentic work of art in which drawing and sculptural elements merge seamlessly.
It is an original pencil drawing on paper, incorporating an original metal nail – a direct and powerful reference to the artist's iconic material vocabulary.
The work is signed and dated in pencil at the bottom right.
The composition has been professionally framed in a custom-made, deep white wooden frame from the Netherlands. The work is float-mounted on linen, in an acid-free custom-made mat, and glazed with UltraVue ArtGlass , which provides maximum clarity, minimal glare, and effective UV protection.
The sturdy wooden frame has a format of approx. 44 × 44 cm.
This original work captures the essence of Uecker's artistic vision : the interplay of line, space, and object. The nail—his iconic motif —appears here not in serial repetition as in his monumental works, but as a single, concentrated expression. Its solitary placement within the drawn contour creates a powerful tension and a quiet, visual poetry. The signature and date at the bottom right confirm the authenticity of this extraordinary piece.
Günther Uecker (1930–2024) was an influential German artist and co-founder of the ZERO movement, which ushered in a radical transformation in the art world in the 1950s and 1960s. His oeuvre was characterized by the use of nails, white paint, wood, and rhythmic structures, with which he endowed material with a spiritual and sensual dimension. For Uecker, art was a means of making stillness, time, and inner reflection visible and tangible. His works form a bridge between the physical and the meditative.
Uecker's works are in the collections of leading museums worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Tate Modern in London, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin.
