Description from the seller
Mario Schifano (Homs 1934 - Rome 1998),
Serigrafia materica a smalti, signed bottom right Schifano, edition number bottom left 72/150,
Dimensions cm 100x70
This artwork was created at the end of the 1980s (period between 1987 and 1988), a creative phase during which the artist intensively explored the theme of nature and the "hill" through famous cycles such as Verde Fisico.
Technical details and characteristics of the work Serigrafia materica: It is not a traditional flat print. Mario Schifano used thick and layered inks to convey the physicality and the luster typical of his beloved enamel on canvas.
Dimensions and edition: The composition measures Dimensions cm 100x70 cm and is printed on a sheet of larger size. It is part of a limited edition of 150 numbered copies in Arabic numerals, plus some artist proofs (P.A.) destined for collaborators
.The theme of landscape in Italian Pop Art Unlike American Pop Art colleagues (focused on goods and advertising), Schifano decided to reinterpret the painting tradition of the Italian landscape. His hills are not realistic reproductions, but inner visions evoked through quick gestures, color drips and stylized outlines.
Condition: the sheet shows yellowing, foxing (humidity stains) or folds. The exemplar shows some signs of time on the white margins.
