Otto Piene: The Proliferation of the Sun

Alongside early paintings influenced by abstract expressionism, there are grid, smoke and fire paintings, light installations and air sculptures on display, in which the artist incorporated the elements light, fire and air to create a unique oeuvre that is still just as relevant today as it ever was.

The exhibited light installations and air sculptures reveals the artist’s concern with the transfer of energy in his art. At the same time, he succeeded in making an innovative contribution to so-called immaterial art, with a radiance that endures to this day.
