AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Eugenio Carmi – "Dream" (1991) – Splendid etching/ Aquatint – Very rare 3 /99 – Signed and Blind-stamped
Description of the Work:
In auction, a piece of great charm and conceptual rigor by the master of Italian geometric abstraction: Eugenio Carmi (1920-2016).
The work, entitled "Dream" and realized in 1991, is a refined combination of etching and aquatint on handmade fine paper with splendid untrimmed edges (deckled).
The composition fully expresses the artist's maturity, able to make the immutable precision of geometric forms dialogue with the extraordinary vitality and poetry of color.
Exclusive Details for Collectors:
Unique Numbering: The work features the very rare and fascinating pencil numbering sqrt{3}/99 at the bottom left.
The inclusion of the square root of 3 is a clear and sought-after reference to Carmi's passion for mathematics and the golden ratio.
Autograph Signature: Original pencil-signed by the artist at the bottom right ("carmi 91").
Quality Guarantee: At the bottom right is impressed the historic blind stamp of the publisher/artist print shop (depicting a stylized boat on the waves), a hallmark of excellence in fine graphic art.
Documentation Included: The work is accompanied by its original presentation sheet on translucent paper, describing its critical value and artistic context.
