Descrizione:
After studying art in Germany in 1957, Uecker became involved with the Zero Group. The work ‘Natura ferita’ (Wounded Nature) in the Museum's collections contrasts the pine trunk, treated on its surface with glue and ash as if to protect its integrity, with the violent and destabilising presence of nails hammered into the upper part of the trunk. The sculpture is preceded by a preparatory drawing, also present in the collection. Using charcoal and pencil, Uecker draws in a gestural and almost violent manner the project that he will realise in three dimensions.
