Otto Piene's Blue Streak screen print with a black circular form, swirling edges, and a blue line on an ochre background.

Screen printing, hand-signed and numbered // Blue Streak by Otto Piene, a limited-edition screen print from 1980, exemplifies the artist's exploration of light, color, and dynamic energy. The composition centers on a radiant black circular form with swirling edges, evoking a sense of motion or combustion. From its center, a striking, straight line of intense blue descends, creating a stark contrast against the muted, ochre-toned background. Piene’s minimalist approach emphasizes the interaction between light and dark, stillness and movement, giving the work an almost cosmic or elemental quality. This piece invites reflection on themes of energy, creation, and the ethereal nature of light.

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.
