Catalogue Note
"The Zero group emerged from a shared studio space inhabited from 1957 to 1958 by Otto Piene and Heinz Mack, who were joined by Günther Uecker in 1960. The group's name signified a desire to make a fresh start and explore new media, such as light, time, movement, and color in art. The name also referred to both the mathematical sign for infinity and to the void, a state of quiet and tranquility out of which the new would emerge."
