Gitter-Rotor 1967

"Gitter-Rotor" is a striking 1967 work by German artist Heinz Mack. This minimalist piece features a repetitive pattern of black and white stripes that create a mesmerizing optical illusion. The geometric pattern, reminiscent of the style of Op Art, draws the viewer's eye inward, toward the center of the piece. Mack's use of bold, contrasting colors and simple forms suggests a playful exploration of light and perception. The piece's captivating visual effects invite viewers to consider the interplay of geometry and visual experience. This artwork embodies Mack's contribution to the kinetic and light art movements of the 1960s.
