Gallery Talk: Heinz Mack’s Light-Relief (1960)

December 4, 2025 @ 12:30 pm - 1:00 pm

Free

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

Please check in with museum staff at the Visitor Services desk in the Calderwood Courtyard to request to join the gallery talk. Space is limited, and talks are available on a first-come, first-served basis; no registration is required.
