More information
Works by German-born Otto Piene (1928–2014), a pioneer of process art, have been on view lately in gallery and museum shows devoted to the Zero group, the short-lived avant-garde movement he cofounded in Germany in the late 1950s. Piene’s work is often more gestural, colorful, and flamboyant than that of other Zero artists. In each piece, he conveys a vivid sensuality and a palpable physicality to match the daring material experimentation.
