Description from the seller
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", hand-retouched photographs taken 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 powerful piece, museum-worthy, that perfectly reflects Schifano's obsession with contemporary media and visual flows. Its high liquidity and strong demand from collectors make it a premier addition to any modern art collection. The lot will be properly packaged and shipped with authorized couriers and online tracking. For this lot, shipping outside the European Community is not available.
