He was 86 and had homes in D\u00fcsseldorf and Groton, Mass. His death was confirmed by Joachim J\u00e4ger, head of the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin. The retrospective, \u201cOtto Piene, More Sky,\u201d opened there and at Deutsche Bank KunstHalle on Wednesday as a joint project devoted to honoring Mr. Piene\u2019s influential role in postwar German art. In 1957, along with Heinz Mack, Mr. Piene (pronounced PEEN-uh) founded the Zero Group, a collection of artists dedicated to redefining art in the aftermath of World War II. Through the mid-1960s the group attracted adherents from Japan and the Americas as well as Europe. Their work \u2014 to be celebrated\u00a0in an exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum in New York this fall \u2014 anticipated developments in land art, Minimalism, Conceptual art and performance art. Among other things, the Zero artists explored new modes of painting, including monochromes and unusual materials: Mr. Piene himself experimented with smoke, soot and burned paint. They employed light, open space and movement as rudiments of artworks and used technology to create artistic effects. Mr. Piene\u2019s work included mechanized light sculptures. In one work, \u201cLight Ballet,\u201d exhibited at a New York gallery in 1965, a roomful of aluminum spheres, bulb-studded globes and brass columns, illuminated in sequence, glowed and dimmed in an endless program, enveloping viewers in a pattern of oscilloscopic blips and racing shadows. In an interview at the time, Mr. Piene said he had been fascinated with light from boyhood, when he began contemplating how far a candle could throw its light and cast its shadow. During World War II, he recalled, he found the tracers and searchlights that striped and dotted\u00a0Germany\u2019s night skies \u201chectically beautiful.\u201d \u201cLight is my medium,\u201d Mr. Piene said. \u201cI hate objects that just stand there demanding interpretation. Previously, paintings and sculptures\u00a0seemed to glow. Today they\u00a0do glow; they are active. They don\u2019t merely express something; they\u00a0are something.\u201d In the late 1960s, Mr. Piene began creating projects in the air over public spaces, events he called\u00a0sky art. These were collaborations with scientists, engineers and often large groups of volunteers in which he created inflatable tubes or other balloonlike shapes made of polythene or other plastic substances, filled them with helium and allowed them to float above buildings or landscapes, which became backdrops for artistic events unfolding in the sky.Perhaps Mr. Piene\u2019s best-known sky art was \u201cOlympic Rainbow,\u201d consisting of five different-colored polythene tubes, each more than 1,500 feet long, which were inflated and released to close the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich. Mr. Pience was born in April 1928 in Bad Laasphe, east of Cologne and D\u00fcsseldorf in west central Germany. He studied painting and art education at the Academy of Art in Munich and the Kunstakademie D\u00fcsseldorf and philosophy at the University of Cologne.He went to the United States in 1964 and taught at the University of Pennsylvania before becoming a fellow at the Center of Advanced Visual Studies, a provocative academic venture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that encouraged collaborations between artists and scientists. Mr. Piene became director of the center in 1974 and led it for nearly two decades, expanding its commitment to producing art for civic consumption. (The center has since merged with M.I.T.\u2019s visual arts program.) Under his leadership, the center created \u201cCenterbeam,\u201d a massive multimedia construction. Commissioned in 1977 by the Documenta 6 exhibition in Kassel, Germany, and later mounted on the National Mall in Washington, it involved 22 artists and a phalanx of scientists and engineers and featured laser-projected images on moving steam screens, solar-tracked holograms, a 144-foot water prism and helium-lifted sky sculptures. In 1996, Mr. Piene received one of the four annual prizes for artists awarded by the American Academy of Arts and Letters. His works are in numerous museum collections around the world, among them the Museum of Modern Art in New York,\u00a0\u00e1the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. \u201cHe was a developer and a discoverer,\u201d Mr. J\u00e4ger said. \u201cSo many of his ideas are relevant today, from project-oriented work, to discussion-led thinking, to the ephemeral; all of that is now commonplace. That is a central contribution of his work.\u201d Mr. Piene\u2019s survivors include his wife, the former Elizabeth Goldring, a poet and artist who also worked on \u201cCenterbeam,\u201d as well as four children, a stepdaughter and four grandchildren. After his death, Mr. Piene was praised by Germany\u2019s minister of culture, Monika Gruetters.\u201cMany of his highly aesthetic works in public space were also a signal against the inhospitality of our cities,\u201d Ms. Gruetters said in a statement. \u201cBy making light and movement a topic of many of his objects and installations, he pointed out new ways for the fine arts.\u201d Melissa Eddy contributed reporting from Berlin.A version of this article appears in print on July 19, 2014, on page B8 of [&hellip;]"}
