Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the whites in the right hand panel tend more towards true white and the reds in the central panel are slightly warmer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good and original condition. Extremely close inspection reveals some light handling marks to the left canvas. Further very close inspection reveals some faint drying cracks to the edges of the middle canvas and some light frame rubbing to the extreme right edge. Further very close inspection reveals some faint drying cracks to the lower edge and some unobtrusive, tiny rub marks to the upper left and lower right corner tips of the right hand canvas. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.

“From the beginning we looked upon the term [ZERO] not as an expression of Nihilism, or as a Dada-like gag, but as a word indicating a zone of silence and of pure possibilities for a new beginning as at the countdown when rockets take off: zero is the incommensurable zone in which the old state turns into the new" (Otto Piene, 'The Development of the Group "ZERO'.'', in: The Times Literary Supplement, 3 September 1984, pp. 812-13).
