• The Frankfurt artist Hermann Goepfert is still one of the largely undiscovered representatives of the European "ZERO" movement.
• In line with the "ZERO" belief in a radical new artistic beginning, his work has been based on the non-color white since the late 1950s and also included metallic reflective bodies from the 1960s onwards.
• Light became an active element in the three-dimensional composition, which it visually set in motion through illumination, shadowing and reflection.
• Works by Hermann Goepfert were on display in the major "ZERO" exhibition at the Martin Gropius Bau, Berlin, in 2015.
• A comparable work is in the collection of the Städel Museum, Frankfurt am Main.
