Günter Umberg

Info: Zander Galerie is delighted to announce an exhibition of new work by Günter Umberg. On view are two large-scale works, entitled FELD 3 and FELD 7, aligning groups of previously individual paintings in- and outside of a field of vertical panels. The two large pieces are complimented by a series of works in various black pigments and dammar on translucent polypropylene sheets placed within designated fields, called Ohne Titel (GjPFRpPPu), 2024. This present series echoes and reinforces the significance of very early works on paper made by Umberg almost compulsively during an isolated year as a young artist in Antwerp. Exhibited to the public for the first time now, these diary-like works from 1964/1965 are like time capsules tracing back Umberg’s process of thinking through painting, a practice he has continued to engage in until today. (…) The artist is present.
