Art show revives Zero movement

An art show that opens to the public Saturday in Berlin revives the legacy of the Zero Group, a movement of avant-garde artists who tried to start off art afresh in the late 1950s, dpa reported.
Zero, which began in Germany after the end of World War II and spread to several other nations, produced minimal works such as white-on-white paintings and sculptures of gently flickering lights, then petered out in the 1960s.
More recently, the prices paid by collectors for Zero works have been soaring as interest grows.
The exhibition of 200 works by more than 40 artists will remain at the Martin Gropius Bau, Berlin's municipal gallery reserved for visiting and temporary exhibitions, until June.
