Mario Schifano (1934-1998) - Agenda

Title:
Mario Schifano (1934-1998) - "Agenda" - Polymaterial screenprint in enamel and collage - Artist's Proof (Prova d'Artista)

Description:
Splendid polymaterial specimen by the Italian Pop Art master Mario Schifano. The work, titled 'Agenda', stands out clearly from common silkscreens for its complex and three-dimensional mixed technique.
Distinctive features of the work:
Polymateric technique: The work is not a flat print. It features evident collage interventions and tactile material textures: the geometric cutouts and the stars are applied to the surface, creating a tangible relief effect compared to the underlying sheet. This gives the work depth and a play of light and shadow typical of Schifano's finest experimental production.
Dating: An intriguing historical detail can be read in the calendar cutout applied in the upper left, showing the date "DÉCEMBRE 1974", conceptually placing the work squarely in the 1970s.
