Heinz Mack

Sculpture

Heinz Mack is a German artist born in 1931 who works primarily in kinetic sculpture, light installations, and paintings that explore the optical and perceptual effects of movement and reflection. Co-founder of the Zero movement in the late 1950s, Mack developed a practice centered on dematerialization, pure light, and dynamic surfaces that challenge static representation. His work spans monumental outdoor installations, motorized metal constructions, and light-based interventions that engage the viewer's experience of time and space.
