Mimmo Rotella (1918-2006) - Relazioni Pericolose

An exceptional original polymaterial seridecollage of great value and with strong investment potential, created by the master of Pop Art and international Nouveau Réalisme, Mimmo Rotella (Catanzaro, 1918 – Milan, 2006).
This masterpiece is titled "Relazioni Pericolose" and celebrates the iconic 1959 Franco-Italian film drama directed by Roger Vadim and starring the legendary Gérard Philipe and Jeanne Moreau.
Rotella masterfully deconstructs and reshapes the original vintage Italian film poster through his distinctive poetic language of tearing. The central figure of Gérard Philipe is framed by dramatic, flame-like vertical slashes in vivid orange, crimson red, and bright white, creating a dynamic sense of movement and romantic tension. The lower section reveals the layered typography of the original poster's credits (Vadim, Jeanne Moreau, Columbia Pictures). This composition brilliantly embodies the golden age of Cinecittà and Hollywood on the Tiber, seen through the avant-garde vision of a titan of Nouveau Réalisme. Hand-signed in pencil "Rotella" at the lower right and numbered 31/100 at the lower left.
Original seridecollage technique on polymaterial (screen print with hand-created collage/tearing elements) on high-quality, heavyweight art paper.
Exclusive limited edition of only 100 copies worldwide (e.g. 31/100). Much rarer and more valuable than his common editions of 250 or 500 copies.
Magnificently framed in a high-quality minimalist natural wood frame, giving the work an immediate museum presence.
The work is in absolutely impeccable, like-new condition. The saturation of the red and deep blue colors is fresh and vivid, with no signs of fading. The edges are crisp and defined. A top-quality print and first-rate investment, ready for the most prestigious international collections. The work is published in the catalog "MImmo Rotella" multipli e decollage, pp. 36/37; a color photocopy will be provided.
