I spotted this incredible work on the Dear Ada blog.
Günther Uecker: Tanzender Stern, 2000
I'm not entirely sure how Günther Uecker makes his work but I strongly suspect that it's embossing made with a printing press. However it's done, I absolutely adore it. I would love one of his exquisite white works - not an accolade I give out lightly because I'm fussy about the art on my walls. However, since he has work in the Tate, it's probably fair to say that he's a little out of my price range!
The top picture is definitely my favourite but this image of scattered nails, reminiscent of my beloved pins, comes a very close second. In fact, I just like everything of his that I've seen.
Günther Uecker: Strömung I
Isn't it fantastic when you see art that just makes your heart swell with happiness - I'm doing the Snoopy Dance here.
You can see more of Uecker's work at the Zimmermann & Heitmann gallery.

yes it's certainly wonderful to see work that makes the heart sing - I went to the Turner prize exhibition yesterday and it failed in this respect I'm afraid - rather disappointing but then I rambled abit around Tate Britain and found the Tacita Dean blackboard drawings - now they did make my heart sing so all was not lost!!!
Thanks for sharing this simple and lovely work

this top image looks like my whole world right now we are buried under two feet of snow and the temperature has dropped to dangerously below zero tonight. I imagine the real thing is so much more beautiful that the image somehow, maybe I will get a chance to see one in person some day. thanks for sharing your find.
