AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Michelangelo Pistoletto (Biella 1933)
"Acquario"
Series: "Lo Zodiaco" - Bolaffi Arte, 1976 (supplement to issue no. 57 of Bolaffi Arte magazine; distribution restricted to the "Club dei 5000" Bolaffi)
Photolithographic reproduction in 4 colors (offset) from the original work on laminated paper
Copy no. 181 (references on back)
Autographic signature of the author and publisher stamp on the front lower left
Dimensions of the work: 28 x 20 cm; frame dimensions (modern wood): 43 x 36 cm
Photographic collaboration: Paolo Mussat Sartor; print: Ages Arti Grafiche, Turin
The image shows a typical visual device of Michelangelo Pistoletto: the play between reality and representation. A man (the artist himself) observes a photograph which in turn constructs a second level of image, creating an effect of doubling, reflection, and perceptual ambiguity. The reference to the "mirror", central to his research, is here translated in photographic and reproducing terms.
Excellent condition
