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 the Zero Movement?
ZERO was an art movement founded by Otto Piene and Heinz Mack, aiming to develop into a large international and cross-border movement. The name ZERO originated from a magazine founded by Heinz Mack in 1957, which became a platform for the group's ideas. The magazine was published for several years before ceasing in 1967. The ZERO movement sought to create a new beginning in art, emphasizing light, space, and movement, and became influential in post-war European art.
