• An expressive example of Mack"s multi-faceted exploration of rhythm and color in a spacious format.
• Alongside Otto Piene and Günther Uecker, Heinz Mack was one of the founders and protagonists of the “ZERO” group.
• In 1964 and 1977, he exhibited at documenta III and IV, and represented the Germany at the 35th Venice Biennale in 1970.
• Inspired by the sunny colors of his studio on Ibiza, the artist devoted himself to painting with great intensity and pure, clear colors from the 1990s onwards.
• In keeping with the “ZERO” idea, Mack makes the colors vibrate with clearly visible brushstrokes, lending them a grid-like structure and breaking down the spectral colors of light into all their nuances.
