About the Work

Patrick Heide Contemporary Art is delighted to present Oskar Holweck, a largely overlooked and recently rediscovered seminal post-war figure. This piece was a part of Oskar Holweck: One Zero Zero - the German artist’s first solo exhibition in the UK, marking 100 years since his birth. Holweck was associated with Zero Group, with his innovative oeuvre, constantly pushing the boundaries of the artistic process - particularly through the use of one medium: paper. Holweck is thus considered one of the key pioneers of paper art in Europe.

25 / II 58 / 3 is one of his early abstract-gestural ink drawings from the late 1950s. The gestural quality of his graphic work served as the foundation for his later explorations, where painterly mark-making shifts to a physical act and engagement with paper.
