A stunning explosion of blue, orange, and black, Centerbeam was commissioned in 1978 to celebrate a Washington festival of kinetic sculpture performances in the sky. The festival also featured Centerbeam, a light sculpture conceptualized by Piene. Lithographs were created in three different editions: without text, with text, and in miniature form (miniatures not available).
