German artist Heinz Mack, co-founder of the influential ZERO movement, is being celebrated with a solo exhibition at Beck and Eggeling gallery in Düsseldorf to mark his 95th birthday. The show features recent and rarely exhibited works, including ceramics, collages, and pastel drawings, demonstrating his continued exploration of light, color, and materiality.
The exhibition highlights the enduring legacy of the ZERO movement, which revolutionized post-war art by focusing on light, movement, and space. Mack's ongoing practice, driven by a commitment to beauty as a counterforce to the world's 'ugliness,' underscores the lasting relevance of his artistic philosophy and his active, innovative spirit well into his tenth decade.
