AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Important kinetic masterpiece: "ICRUE-1" by Giuseppe Amadio (born 1944)
An elite investment opportunity for avant-garde collectors of postwar Italian art and spatialism. This exceptional three-dimensional metal wall sculpture is an authentic and fully documented masterpiece, titled "ICRUE-1", by the world-renowned Italian master Giuseppe Amadio (born 1944).
Amadio, celebrated worldwide for his complex canvas extensions (estroflessioni) and his minimalist spatial explorations, channels the pure spirit of kinetic art and Op Art in this extraordinary low-poly polyhedral sculpture. The surface is meticulously shaped with a high-quality brushed metallic composite, creating a network of faceted geometric triangles.
The optical focal point of "ICRUE-1" is entirely based on its dynamic relationship with light. As ambient lighting changes or the observer's viewing point shifts, the reflective surfaces fragment and recombine the room's architecture, transforming a static object into a perpetually moving artwork.

Authenticity from the museum (on the back):
Autograph signature: Autographed by Giuseppe Amadio directly on the metal surface.
Official title: Entitled "ICRUE-1" with the artist's original handwriting, in perfect correspondence with its certified catalog entry.
Architectural 3D extruded metal / shiny reflective alloy
Style: Spatialism / Kinetic art / Op-Art / Minimalist structuralism
Frame: Designed to be mounted flush to the wall in order to maximize its physical presence, clean and focused on the object.
Conditions:
The sculpture is in excellent condition, like new. The polygonal facet edges are perfectly sharp, completely free of dents, scratches, or oxidation. The reflective surface retains 100% of its mirror properties.
Conditions: Excellent (Excellent condition / Gallery). Material: Aluminum / Brushed and mirror-polished steel. Technique: Three-dimensional extruded sculpture on a geometric metallic matrix. Era: Contemporary (early 21st century). Signature: Present on the back (Signed and titled in the artist’s own handwriting: "Amadio / ICRUE-1"). Documentation attached from Amadio's archive photo.

The lot will be properly packed and shipped with contracted couriers and the relevant online tracking. For this lot, shipments outside the European Community are not made.
