Color screen print, signed by the artist. - Printed by Siebdrucktechnik, Essen. - Published by Edition Merian, Krefeld. Literature: Galerie Rottluff (ed.): Otto Piene - Werkverzeichnis der Druckgrafik 1960-76, Karlsruhe 1977, cat. rais. no. 149-158. // Addis Abeba II unfolds in cool silver-grey and black, a study in metallic monochrome. A dark, billowing head crowns the sheet, and at its centre a finely stippled orb glows like a seed or distant sun, ringed by frothing white matter. A slender stem descends across a smooth, luminous grey gradient, lending the image the hush of a lunar landscape. Stripped of colour, it reveals the pure structure of Piene's cosmic vocabulary. Signed in 1972 and printed by Siebdrucktechnik, Essen, this screenprint is among the most subtly atmospheric plates of the Addis Abeba portfolio.

What is kinetic art?
Kinetic art is an international movement that emerged in the 1920s and gained prominence in the 1960s, referring to art that involves both apparent and real motion. It encompasses any medium that includes movement, either relying on actual motion for its effect or being perceived as moving by the viewer. Early examples include canvas paintings designed to create optical illusions of movement. Today, kinetic art often refers to three-dimensional figures and sculptures, such as those operated by machines or those that move naturally. The movement covers a variety of styles and techniques that frequently overlap.
