Terry Haass exhibited this work in the exhibition "Terry Haass Licht und Raum / Hommage a Albert Einstein" (Terry Haass Light and Space / Homage to Albert Einstein) at the Museum Bochum Kunstsammlungen in Bochum, Germany, December 10, 1977 to January 22, 1978. It is listed in the catalogue as number 17, "Black Body I". Her exhibition "Homage to Albert Einstein" traveled for four years in France and across Europe
In the forward of the catalog Einstein is quoted about his light/space theory: "I wanted to show that space-time is not necessarily something that can be given a life of its own independent of actual objects of physical reality. Real objects are not in space, but these objects are spatially extended. In this sense, the notion of "empty space" loses its meaning."

Haass comments about her responses in these acrylic works: "These sculptures were inspired by and dedicated to Albert Einstein's non-Euclidean geometry. The underlying idea is based on mutually influencing systems within flat, curved or vaulted shapes that symbolize finite-infinite space. The main concern of this work is to stimulate an increased mediation of abstract thinking."
Tereza (Terry) Haass was born in Cesky Tesin, Czechoslovakia on November 17, 1923. She fled her native country and Nazism in the late 1930s, relocating to France. In Paris, she studied art and art history until she was once again displaced by war. In 1941, she moved to New York and received a scholarship to the Art Students' League where she studied with Will Barnet. Haass began working at Stanley William Hayter's experimental workshop, Atelier 17, in 1946 and she co-directed the workshop with artist Harry Hoehn in the spring and summer of 1951 when Hayter returned to Paris. During this time she taught also graphics at Brooklyn College and New York City College.
In 1951, Haass received a Wooley scholarship to study printmaking and a Fulbright Travel Grant that allowed her to visit Norway. She eventually settled in Paris where she worked at Atelier Lacourière & Frélaut. Ever inquisitive, she studied Mesopotamian archeology at the school of the Louvre and over many years she participated in archaeological digs in the Middle East. In the 1960s, her work was greatly influenced by Einstein's theories of time and space and she incorporated these ideas into her sculpture.
