Günther Uecker "The Early Years"
Mnuchin Gallery
This event has ended.
This seminal group of paintings, panels, and structures dating from the late 1950s through the 1970s represents the artist’s first major return to New York in over four decades.
Renowned in Europe, Uecker visited and lived in New York in 1965 and 1966. He had his first solo exhibition in the United States at the Howard Wise Gallery on West 57th Street, showing important work such as the kinetic "New York Dancer I" (1966), to be featured at L&M Arts. When in motion, thousands of long nails protrude from a heavy sailcloth covering and dematerialize into an optical blur.
