AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Mario Botta – Original etching (es. 97/100)
Signed, dated, and stored in a small folder.
Sheet size 46x35
Tile size 23x23
This original etching by Mario Botta, internationally renowned architect, represents a rare and precious testimony to his design vision translated into the language of art graphics. The work, dated December 1994 and signed by the author, is titled "X Artificio", and it is part of a limited edition of 100 numbered copies (this is number 97/100).
Created with a decisive, clean, and architectural mark, the image shows a geometric and dynamic composition that recalls recognizable elements of Botta's poetics: essential volumes, rational structures, and strongly defined spaces. The building in the center, enclosed by intersecting and overlapping lines, seems to emerge as a mental construction rather than a physical one, highlighting the continuity between drawing and project, between idea and space.
The work is printed with high quality on premium paper and kept in an editorial folder. An object destined for collectors, architects, and enthusiasts of contemporary graphic design.
Packaged shipping within 5 days of the awarding.
