Fine color screen print, signed by the artist. // Addis Abeba 8 by Otto Piene, a screen print from 1972, is a vibrant exploration of abstract form and intense color. Dominated by bold red and black hues, the composition conveys a sense of energy and movement through sweeping, textured brushstrokes that evoke a floral or organic shape. At the center, a dark triangular form contrasts sharply against the rich red background, drawing the eye and adding a sense of grounding amidst the dynamic swirls. Piene, known for his association with the Zero group, often explored light, color, and elemental forms, and this work is no exception. The artwork encapsulates the intensity of expressionism and an almost primal aesthetic, suggesting themes of creation, energy, and transformation.

What is ‘light and space’?
The Light and Space Movement refers to loosely affiliated art movements connected to minimalism, geometric abstraction, and op art that originated in Southern California in the 1960s. Greatly influenced by artist John McLaughlin, these artists focused on sensory phenomena such as light, perception, and space as central elements of their work. They also incorporated cutting-edge technologies from the aerospace and engineering industries to develop light-filled and sensuous objects, creating immersive experiences that emphasize the viewer's perception.
