Aquatinta, Carborundum etching // Zyklop Gelb by Otto Piene, created in 1984, is a striking example of the artist's experimental approach to printmaking. Utilizing carborundum etching and aquatint, this limited edition print (from an edition of 30) features a large, surreal, eye-like form in a mix of yellow and black tones against a rich, deep blue background. The image evokes the mythical Cyclops, with a gaze that seems to peer beyond the frame, merging organic textures with fantastical elements. Piene’s mastery of light and texture brings an intense, almost hypnotic quality to the composition. Measuring 76 cm by 108 cm, the work captures a fusion of abstraction and symbolism, typical of Piene’s exploration of cosmic and elemental themes.

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.
