Description from the seller
Discover the pinnacle of contemporary Italian Pop Art with this rare high-contrast masterpiece by Giuliano Grittini. Executed in an extraordinary manner on a high-quality, heavyweight black paper, this work showcases the quintessential pop icon, Mickey Mouse, dominating the center with a vivid red face. The central figure is superimposed over an intricate, dense background with repeated motifs of Mickey and Minnie, fused with urban typography. Surrounded by the characteristic border of sparkling gold leaf applied by hand by Grittini, the colors explode against the dark background. Hand-signed and bearing the inscription 'Originale' in pencil by the master, this specific 'Black Edition' combines luxurious aesthetics with the underground energy of the street. An exceptional investment and a work of great impact for the most demanding collectors of contemporary art. Technical and structural details: The work is a genuine multi-material piece in mixed media (polymeric screen printing, collage, mixed media) on museum-grade heavyweight black cardboard, hand-finished with authentic gold leaf. It bears the artist's autograph and the inscription 'Originale' in pencil along the lower edge. At the bottom right are the red stamp 'Museum Cracker Art' and the official dry-stamp/embossed signature of the artist directly on the dark paper. Conditions: In perfect condition, as new. Sharp edges, impeccable velvety texture on the black margins, and perfect color preservation. Kept flat in a professional art archive, dust-free. Signed at the bottom. The lot will be carefully packaged and shipped with contracted couriers. For this lot, shipping outside the European Community is not available.
