Acquired for Dia’s collection shortly after it was realized, this epic cycle marks the artist’s first sustained engagement with color in its manifold guises. Color&emdash;viewed as a gift from his close friend, the German painter Blinky Palermo&emdash;was to become for Knoebel the primary agent in an ongoing exploration of the metaphysics of picture making.
