Günther Uecker. Die Verletzlichkeit der Welt im Arp Museum Bahnhof Rolandseck

In the organizer's words:

The exhibition at the Arp Museum Bahnhof Rolandseck is the first after the death of the artist Günther Uecker (*1930, Wendorf, †2025, Düsseldorf) and the last in which he himself was involved. It pays tribute to the internationally renowned artist, who wrote art history with his iconic nail paintings and reliefs and revolutionized art in the post-war period as a formative personality of the ZERO artist group.

Uecker was closely associated with the Rolandseck artists' station: The nail relief Bett zum Aufwachen (1965) is still in the museum collection today. The performative film Die Treppe (1964) shows Uecker conquering the station forecourt and building nail by nail. A total of 45 works from seven decades are on display - from early nail objects and kinetic installations to late series that reflect Uecker's spiritual attitude and his humanistic world view. The focus is on works dedicated to the vulnerability of the world - an expression of a life's work that reflects peace, empathy and human responsibility.
