Günther Uecker — Kissenbuch
Günther Uecker

Kissenbuch

1969

"Kissenbuch" by Günther Uecker is a bronze sculpture that exemplifies the artist's characteristic exploration of texture and light through repetitive, kinetic forms. The work's title, meaning "cushion book" in German, suggests a playful contradiction between the softness implied by its name and the rigid materiality of cast bronze. Uecker, a key figure in the Zero movement, employs the bronze medium to create surfaces that invite contemplation of how light interacts with dimensional form.
