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 site specific art?
Site-Specific Art is a form of artwork created to exist in a particular location, with the artist considering the site as an integral part of the creative process. Robert Irwin was a key figure in promoting this art form in California. Site-Specific Art emerged as a reaction against modernist objects, which were often portable, commodified, and confined to museum spaces. In contrast, Site-Specific Art is inherently tied to its location, challenging the traditional notions of art as a transportable and marketable commodity.
