Heinz Mack *


(born in Lollar, Hessen in 1931)
Terra Digitalis, before 1960, relief aluminum plate mounted on panel, 48 x 54 cm

Provenance:
Private Collection North Rhine-Westphalia - acquired directly from the artist

Literature:
Dieter Honisch, Mack - Skulpturen 1953 – 1986, Dusseldorf, Wien, 1986, p. 210, no. 223 with ill., Ouevre-no. 246

"An unexpected opportunity to visualize aesthetic
motion coincidentally occurred when I stepped onto a thin metal foil lying on a sisal carpet.

When I picked up the foil the light was vibrating. Since the carpet was factory-made, the impression remained mechanic and decorative; the motion of the reflected light was entirely dull and unimportant.

My metal reliefs, I prefer calling them light reliefs, formed by just the pressure from my fingers, need light instead of colors to come alive. Owed to the mirror-like polish a slight relief is enough to shake the the light's calmness and to make it vibrate.

The potential beauty of these structures makes for a pure
expression of the beauty of light."
