AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Dive into the latest, visionary artistic phase of Mario Schifano (1934-1998), undisputed pioneer of Italian Pop Art. This fascinating work belongs to his highly sought-after series of hand-retouched photographs, created in the 1990s. Schifano, obsessed with the incessant flow of TV screens and videos, used to immortalize everyday and cultural media broadcasts, subsequently modifying them with his characteristic energetic enamel gestures. This particular work captures an intimate studio recording scene, characterized by a subtle and poetic composition that brushes against the historical-document, animated by dynamic and fluid lines that alter and sanctify the photographic medium. Museum-quality presentation and visual depth: the work is presented in its iconic white wooden “cassette” professional frame, designed to project the small masterpiece forward, creating an elegant sense of volumetric depth. This presentation greatly enhances its decorative appeal and aesthetic prestige. A high-value investment. With Mario Schifano’s market indices continually 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 secure a highly recognizable piece of contemporary Italian history. Conditions: Excellent; Materials: Technique: Hand-retouched enamel photograph; Era: 1990-1997; Color: Dark multimedia scene with white and red graphic interventions. White lacquered frame. Signature: Present (hand-signed by the artist on the label on the back). The lot will be adequately packaged and shipped with partnered couriers and online tracking. For this lot, shipments outside the European Community are not available.
