Description
Otto Piene: Paths to Paradise presents a comprehensive collection of visionary art by German artist Otto Piene. This richly illustrated catalog features essays by emerging and established art historians and curators from the United States and Europe, shedding light on Piene's life-affirming vision developed in the wake of World War II. Piene's work spans multiple media, including television, kinetic sculpture, drawing, painting, and performance, often incorporating ephemeral elements to create atmospheric effects. The book provides new scholarship on the development of his imaginative approaches to interlacing art, science, and nature, offering insights into strategies for coping in an increasingly uncertain world. With its extensive museum exhibition as a backdrop, this volume offers a unique perspective on Piene's transatlantic career and artistic vision.
