Mario Schifano (1934-1998) - Vecchie Incisioni

An extraordinary and iconic work by Mario Schifano (1934–1998), one of the absolute pioneers of European Pop Art and of the Piazza del Popolo School. This work belongs to his famous and highly sought-after series of "Tele/Foto Computerizzate" (Tele/Computerized Photos), hand-retouched photographs drawn from television screens. Schifano isolates a transient mediated image, transforming an ephemeral television broadcast into a lyrical and permanent artistic statement through dynamic and energetic strokes of colored enamel. A conceptually impactful work, worthy of a museum, that perfectly reflects Schifano's obsession with contemporary media and visual flows. Its high liquidity and strong demand from collectors make it a first-rate addition to any modern art collection. The work is archived at the Archive of Mario Schifano's works cataloged at the M.S. Multistudio Foundation from 1985 to 1997, volume V, and published on page 120 reference F9097-2372 and in the Telemarket catalog on page 325, for which a color photocopy will be provided. Foundation documents and catalog publication photos are attached. The lot will be adequately packed and shipped with approved couriers and with online tracking.
