"Light Dynamo" from 1963 by Heinz Mack
An unexpected find at the library today while picking up a copy of “An Anthology of Concrete Poetry” edited by Emmett Williams. For some reason concrete poetry is in the fine arts section, and nearby was a book with the enigmatic title “ZERO” written in huge letters across the cover. Turns out this is a collection of the magazine by the same name, released by artists working in a group of the name as well.
About halfway through are some great pieces by an artist I had never heard of named Heinz Mack. They have the mix of abstraction and tracendental surface that I love with a complexity that belies a systematic approach to creating them.
