Coinciding with his exhibition at Lévy Gorvy‘s new space in Paris, Günther Uecker is showing at their space on Albemarle Street, London from 27 October 2020.
Uecker’s statuesque sculptures appear to be threatening relics from a turbulent past, but they are extraordinarily tactile, revealing the process involved in their making.
The artist’s repetitive hammering of nails into readymade objects becomes a ritualistic process indulging Uecker’s interest in Buddhist, Taoist, and Islamic philosophies.
