AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Luca Alinari (Florence, 1943-2019), The House of Myth, 1972, oil on gesso-prepared masonite, 96.5 x 96.5 cm, signature and year on the lower right, on the back of the panel the maestro’s dedication (“Ri-Visti,” written on the back of the painting on the occasion of his visit to our gallery in 2009), maestro’s signature, on the surrounding frame an additional signature by the maestro with the inscription “authentic,” gallery stamp of Galleria d'Arte Piero Della Francesca. Original steel frame. Exhibitions: Great Masters of the 20th Century - Anthological Show - September 19–October 10, 2020 - Galleria d'Arte Piero Della Francesca, Arezzo. Literature: G. Vaiani Lisi, Catalog of the exhibition “Great Masters of the 20th Century,” Edizioni Galleria d'Arte Piero Della Francesca, 2020. Documentation: Authentic statement by the artist on photograph; photograph of the artist with the work; certificate of authenticity from Galleria d'Arte Piero Della Francesca, Arezzo; photocopy of the publication. Provenance: Artist’s studio of Luca Alinari (acquired there in the 1970s and never left our gallery).
Conditions: The work is generally in good condition, but has undergone restoration on the front to resolve an humidity issue, which is visible on the back (see the stripe crossing horizontally across the lower part). On the front the restoration is barely noticeable and only under certain lighting; overall the work is beautiful.
Our gallery has maintained a thirty-year relationship with Luca Alinari, for whom we organized his first solo show precisely in 1972. As described, the work comes directly from Alinari’s studio and has never left our gallery. It was revisited by the maestro in our gallery in 2009 and Luca chose to leave a dedication on the back and, deeming this work important, decided to be photographed with the painting (Alinari is on the right in the photo). A piece of history with a provenance that is more unique than rare.
Shipped by courier, professional packing. Shipping costs are high due to the oversized dimensions of the work.
