Günther Uecker, Bühnenskulpturen und Figurinen für Lohengrin, Bayreuth 1979

Das sagt der/die Veranstalter:in:

Günther Uecker was one of the most active, internationally successful and popular artists in Germany. His name is inextricably linked with the legendary Group Zero, and his nail reliefs in particular are highly regarded around the world. Most recently, in January 2025, Günther Uecker's four ten-meter-high blue glass windows “Lichtbogen” were inaugurated for Schwerin Cathedral in his native Mecklenburg. Uecker's multifaceted oeuvre also includes stage sets and scenic designs for opera and drama.

In an exhibition that has long been planned with Günther Uecker, we are showing stage sculptures and figurines that Uecker created for Richard Wagner's “Lohengrin” for the Bayreuth Festival in 1979.

To mark his sudden death on June 10, 2025, we are also showing selected works from his oeuvre in a tribute. They shed light on our long-standing and friendly relationship with the artist, which goes back to the founding of our gallery in 1977.

In addition to numerous exhibitions of our own, we have also realized international projects for Uecker over the decades and continuously accompanied his work.
