Otto Piene: Bilder, Feuergouachen und Graphik 1957-67 / Sky Art Portfolio 1969 / Bilddokumentation 1967-71. First edition. Number 622 of 1000 copies. Complete with 5 serigraph prints - 4 fold-outs plus the dust jacket. COMES WITH 3 pages of handwritten correspondence from Piene to Leon Arkus, the director of the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh from 1969-1980. Piene gifts the book to Arkus, signs it with a big O and updates his new address in Brewster, NY. 1971, First edition. Softcover with dust jacket, 11.5 x 8.5 inches. Published by Galerie Heseler in Munchen/Munich. Text in German, with the two essays at the front also in English. 3 of the serigraphs reproduce photos of Piene's large-scale work in Pittsburgh, including one at the Carnegie Museum. Arkus and Piene had a close friendship, and Arkus played a large role in getting Piene, and his fellow European avant-garde artists, to the city. The other 2 prints and the dust jacket are more typical of Piene's style. An excellent association copy of this rare catalog.
