Internationally renowned painter and sculptor, Otto Piene had Sketchbooks on display at the Christopher Carey Brodigan Gallery from April 6 through April 29, 2005. "Artists are often asked where their ideas come from. Piene is about to show us with an exhibition of more than two dozen of his sketchbooks gleaned from the personal journals he's been filling 'from 1943 to the day before yesterday,'" explains Leon Nigrosh of ArtsMedia magazine (March/April 2005).
