Heinz Mack's rich graphic oeuvre includes both original and printed graphics, whereby Mack's originals also serve as models for the prints. He describes these as the "grammar of my art" and the "language of his hand" because they follow the movements of Mack's hand, its ductus, its rhythm and, in part, unconsciously, his sensations.

Born in Lollar, Hesse, in 1931, Heinz Mack attended the State Art Academy in Düsseldorf from 1950 to 1953. Together with Otto Piene, he founded the internationally influential group ZERO in Düsseldorf in 1957. Heinz Mack was awarded numerous prizes for his work and is internationally successful - for example, he is represented in the Guggenheim Collection in New York.
