"For over 20 years, Beck and Eggeling has maintained a close collaboration with Heinz Mack and was among the first galleries to bring his ZERO works back into focus. This partnership has given rise to significant projects, including 'The Sky over Nine Columns'-an installation of nine gilded columns shown in Venice, St. Moritz, and Istanbul."
"The pastels, which most clearly connect to the themes and methods Mack first worked with during his ZERO period, illuminate his inimitable ability to harness the expressive potential of color. Through spectrums and gradients of various hues, Mack foregrounds the experiential nature of light and color, offering viewers the ability to be immersed in the psychological, associative qualities of what they see."
Heinz Mack co-founded the ZERO movement in 1957, focusing on light, movement, and space. The movement rejected traditional aesthetics, prioritizing materials instead. An exhibition at Beck and Eggeling in Düsseldorf celebrates Mack's 95th birthday, featuring recent works alongside his historical contributions. The exhibition includes 12 ceramic pieces, 16 collages, and 14 pastel drawings, highlighting Mack's exploration of materiality and perception. His pastels exemplify his mastery of color, immersing viewers in the psychological qualities of light and color.
