Lot 137 | OTTO PIENE FEUERGOUACHE (1965)
Estimate value
€ 22 000 – 44 000
OTTO PIENE 1928 Laasphe - 2014 Berlin FIRE GOUACHE (1965) Gouache, pigment and traces of fire on black cardboard. 47,5 x 68 cm (f. 52,5 x 73 cm). Signed by hand in pencil at lower right and dated 'O PIENE (19)65'. Verso: With adhesive label of the Galerie Ursula Wendtorf & Franz Swetec, Düsseldorf. Framed behind glass (unopened). In 1957 Otto Piene founded the artist movement ZERO together with Heinz Mack in Düsseldorf, which Günther Uecker also joined a short time later. After the publication of the magazine of the same name and numerous exhibitions at home and abroad, Mack, Piene and Uecker finally dissolved the movement in 1966. Otto Piene's exploration of the phenomenon of light led him from his early raster paintings, which he produced in his studio at Gladbacher Strasse 69 in Düsseldorf from 1957 onwards, to the light ballet, in which artificial light is projected into the surrounding space through the perforated stencils instead of paint, and finally to the fire drawings and gouaches, which are created directly with the medium of fire. Piene lights the pigment sprayed onto the cardboard with a match. The resulting flame is directed by the artist until a crusty circular structure remains on the surface of the painting. This structure creates a spatial, dynamic pictorial effect in the eye of the beholder. This fire gouache offered here dates from 1965, the active ZERO period. Provenance: Private collection Düsseldorf.
