From its biginnings the movement had an international network. The Dusseldorf artists' community of Heinz Mack, Otto Piene and Gunther Uecker was attached to an array of European groupings, whose intermediary figure from 1960 was Piero Manzoni. Next to him Yves Klein and Lucio Fontana also played key rolls. Their contacts reached as far as East Asia through the artists' group GUTAI, who like European avant-garde, developed out of a desire to break free from the old order.
