Günther Uecker, now 95 years old, is one of the most active, successful and popular artists of the German post-war scene. His name is inextricably linked with the legendary Zero group and his nail reliefs in particular are highly regarded around the world. Most recently, in January 2025, Günther Uecker’s four ten-meter-high glass windows “Lichtbogen” were inaugurated for Schwerin Cathedral in his native Mecklenburg.
Uecker’s multifaceted work includes stage sets and scenic designs for opera and drama. For Open Art 2025, we are showing an extensive exhibition of Uecker’s stage designs and figurines for Richard Wagner’s “Lohengrin”, Bayreuth Festival 1979-1982.
Since the beginning of our gallery activities, we have worked closely and amicably with Günther Uecker and have organized numerous international exhibitions for Uecker in addition to our own exhibitions.
