Signed and dated on verso. (19)85 and with the artist's handstamp "ENERGETISCHE PLASTIK" in red. Luther, the main representative of kinetic art and optical art, discovered light as a direct design factor in space. Since the 1960s, he has experimented with various optical materials, glass and glass fragments, concave concave mirrors and convex, curved mirrors as well as prisms for his objects, which allow energy to be visualized directly in the form of light. The viewer also plays a part in this by moving through the space. His concave mirror objects, which he also realized in public spaces, are among the artist's classic light objects, with which he achieved lasting significance for contemporary art. Approx. 62 cm x 62 cm x 7 cm. Provenance: Auction Nagel, Stuttgart 18.10.1997, lot 1232; Auction Grisebach, Berlin 5.6.2010, lot 305.
