• A unique object from the important group of reliefs.
• The artist was occupied with this medium for more than 60 years: in addition to light reliefs, he created white, silver and golden reliefs, sand reliefs, grid reliefs and, last but not least, rotating reliefs.
• For the "ZERO" artist's quest to give artistic form to the sky, air and light, hardly any other art form is more suitable.
• Since September 2023, the ZKM Karlsruhe shows an extensive exhibition of the artist's works from all creative phases.
Accompanied by a certificate issued by the Atelier Heinz Mack, Mönchengladbach, from November 2023.
PROVENANCE: Galerie Cuenca, Ulm.
Private collection Baden-Württemberg.
EXHIBITION: Internationaler Kunstmarkt Köln, Galerie Reckermann, fairgrounds Köln-Deutz, October 19 - October 24, 1974 (with the label on the reverse).
"My metal reliefs, which I prefer to call light reliefs and which are formed solely by the pressure of the fingers, need light instead of color in order to come to life. Polished to a mirror finish, a slight relief structure is enough to shake the calm of the light and set it in vibration. The possible beauty of these structures would be a pure expression of the beauty of light."
Heinz Mack, quoted from: Daniels/John, Cremer Collection I, 1991, p. 142f.
