Description from the seller
Immerse yourself in the latest visionary artistic phase of Mario Schifano (1934-1998), an undisputed pioneer of Italian Pop Art. This fascinating work belongs to his highly sought-after series of hand-painted photographs, realized in the 1990s. Schifano, obsessed with the incessant flow of television screens and videos, used to immortalize everyday and cultural media transmissions, subsequently modifying them with his characteristic energetic enamel gestures. This particular piece captures an intimate studio recording scene, characterized by a subtle and poetic composition that brushes against historical documentation, animated by dynamic, fluid lines that alter and sanctify the photographic medium. Museum-quality presentation and visual depth: the work is presented in its iconic white wood “box” frame (box frame), designed to project the small masterpiece forward, creating an elegant sense of volumetric depth. This presentation greatly enhances its decorative charm and aesthetic prestige. A high-value investment addition. With Mario Schifano’s market indices steadily rising internationally, these unique hand-painted photographic fragments represent an extraordinary entry point for the savviest collectors aiming for quick resale or long-term financial growth. A rare opportunity to acquire a highly recognizable piece of Italian contemporary history. Conditions: Excellent; Materials: Technique: Hand-retouched photograph with enamel; Era: 1990-1997; Color: Dark multimedia scene with graphic interventions in white and red. White lacquered frame. Signature: Present (Hand-signed by the artist on the label affixed to the back).
The lot will be adequately packaged and shipped with contracted couriers and with online tracking. For this lot, shipments outside the European Community are not carried out.
