Artists in conversation
Heinz Mack
German · b. 1931
As a fellow ZERO group founder alongside Uecker, Mack creates monochromatic experimental prints and works that explore texture, light, and abstract mark making with the same conceptual rigor and minimal black and white aesthetic visible in Graphein.
Otto Piene
German · b. 1928
Piene shared the ZERO movement ethos with Uecker and produced signed limited edition conceptual prints that emphasize repetitive abstract marks and textural experimentation on a monochromatic ground, closely mirroring the qualities of Graphein.
Cy Twombly
American · b. 1928
Twombly's graphic print editions feature gestural mark making, script like abstract lines, and a raw monochromatic sensibility that directly parallels the experimental textured and conceptual character of Uecker's Graphein series.
