Paolo Pasotto (1930-2015) - "Ma va'" - XL Serigraphy Original - Limited Edition 42/100 with Archive Stamp
Detailed Description
The Work:
We present a magnificent and imposing original large-format serigraphy by the prestigious Italian artist Paolo Pasotto, entitled "Ma va'".
The composition unfolds poetically and ironically between the terrestrial world and the underwater. On the surface, a fisherman and his dog sit under a starry sky. Underwater, Pasotto's genius and humor shine through a satirical dialogue in comic-book speech bubbles between two red fish: "C'è dell'altro oltre l'acqua sai?" (Do you know there’s something more beyond the water?) followed by the ironic reply that gives the title to the work: "Ma va'". A striking piece with strong influence from Pop Art and Italian Neo-Expressionism.
Large Format and Limited Edition:
This is an XL-format work (100 x 70 cm), ideal for creating a striking focal point in any contemporary space. This exemplar belongs to a reduced international edition, hand-numbered as 42/100 and duly signed in pencil by the artist on the lower margin.
Authenticity Guarantee (Archive Provenance):
As a crucial valorization element, the work bears in the lower-left corner the official stamp of the "Archivio Paolo Pasotto" applied on the verso (visible through the front of the paper). This seal guarantees that the piece is properly inventoried and cataloged in the official archive controlled by the artist’s estate.
