AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Mario Botta – Original aquatint (e.g., 97/100)
Signed, dated, and preserved in a protective folder.
Sheet size 46x35
Plate size 23x23
This original aquatint by Mario Botta, an internationally renowned architect, represents a rare and precious testimony of his design vision translated into the language of art graphics. The work, dated December 1994 and signed by the author, is entitled "X Artificio" and is part of a limited edition of 100 numbered copies (this is number 97/100).
Executed with a sharp, precise, architectural line, the image shows a geometric and dynamic composition that evokes recognizable elements of Botta’s poetic: essential volumes, rational structures, strongly defined spaces. The building at the center, enclosed by lines that cross and overlap, 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 great quality on fine paper and kept in an editorial folder. An object destined for collectors, architects, and enthusiasts of contemporary graphics.
Shipped packaged and within 5 days of winning the lot.
