Description
ZERO
Piene, Otto
Red and Blue Sun. 1984. Colour silkscreen print on heavy-weight vellum. 100 x 70 cm. Signed, dated and numbered, and bearing the publisher’s dry stamp. Mounted on backing in places. - Reverse shows slight rubbing, subtle ink bleed-through and very occasional faint ink stains. Overall in very good condition and well preserved. A magnificent, richly coloured and high-contrast print of this full-format, large-scale composition.
No longer available from Rotloff. - One of 100 copies. - Published by Erker Presse, St. Gallen. - In this colour silkscreen print, Otto Piene once again translates cosmic phenomena, light and energy into the medium of printmaking. Against a deep, rich black background, red and blue solar forms unfold, appearing both as compact, radiant cores and, extending upwards, as a field of fine coloured dots. The characteristic dot grid, which Piene had already developed in his early grid paintings and light ballets, appears here as a principle governing both form and content: light is not depicted, but is made perceptible through its propagation and scattering.
