Description from the seller

An absolute icon of Italian Spatialism: a masterpiece by Gianni Dova
Immerse yourself in the poetic and cosmic universe of Gianni Dova (1925-1991), one of the prominent and most revolutionary figures of the Italian Spatialist movement, alongside Lucio Fontana. This magnificent 74/100 color lithograph in a large format perfectly embodies the pinnacle of Dova's production between the late 1960s and the early 1970s, deeply inspired by his travels to Brittany and his obsession with organic forms, the tides, and celestial movements.
Entitled "Traversata" (Crossing), this fascinating composition moves surreal and biomorphic bird-like structures over a dense, material deep blue background. The sharp, dynamic dialogue between ice-silver-blue silhouettes and the explosive, material crimson-red oval creates an extraordinary visual tension. Here, Dova's mastery in graphic art is fully evident: every single layer of color appears vibrant and rich, preserving the energetic and dreamlike atmospheres that have made him an internationally recognized institution, with works in the collections of major museums around the world. The lot will be carefully packaged and shipped with contracted couriers and online tracking. For this lot, shipping outside the European Community is not carried out.
