• The oeuvre that Blinky Palermo created until his sudden death on the Maldives at the age of 33 is small and of outstanding art-historical significance.
• Alongside Gerhard Richter and Sigmar Polke, Palermo made the most significant contribution to German art of the 1960s and 70s.
• Palermo's made only 37 prints and editions, including just 9 multi-part works.
• Another copy is in the collection of the Museum Modern Art, New York.

"Palermo made several works using isosceles triangles, starting with Tagtraum I 1965 and culminating in Blaues Dreieck, which was installed at the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels in 1970, where blue triangles were painted onto the walls and evenly spaced. [..] [A]rt historian Benjamin H. D. Buchloh has related the shapes to the triangular forms in pre-war utopian constructivist abstraction and to Joseph Beuys's Fat Corner of 1963 (see Buchloh, 'The Palermo Triangles', in Los Angeles County Museum of Art 2010). Buchloh has also emphasised the importance of the work Yves Klein to Palermo in the latter's use of ultramarine. Palermo is one of the most important artists to have emerged in Germany in the 1960s."
