• A very powerful and dynamic work from the early creative period of the great "ZERO" artist.
• A striking interplay of color and structure, guided by chance, in a concentrated format.
• In 1967, Piene experimented with color slides, a phase that led to his large-scale slide projection "Proliferation of the Sun" (premiered initially in New York with subsequent performances in Bochum and Düsseldorf).
• In hardly any other oeuvre has fire dominated artistic creation for decades as much as in Otto Piene's – it attained an iconographic status, as it did..
