Join curator Lynette Roth for a close look at Heinz Mack’s Light-Relief (1960), one of the artist’s earliest experiments with light articulation. The hand-embossed aluminum sculpture serves as a cornerstone of Mack’s oeuvre and his material experimentation as a co-founder of the influential ZERO group (1957–66). Mack recently gifted the work to the Busch-Reisinger Museum.


This gallery talk is part of our New on View series, highlighting recent gallery installations and presenting new insights into recent acquisitions or old favorites.


Led by:

Lynette Roth, Daimler Curator of the Busch-Reisinger Museum, Division of Modern and Contemporary Art
