Description from the seller
An extraordinary and iconic work by Mario Schifano (1934–1998), one of the absolute pioneers of European Pop Art and the Piazza del Popolo School. This work, set in an elegant white frame, belongs to his famous and highly sought-after series of "Tele/Foto Computerizzate"—hand-retouched photographs taken from television screens. Schifano isolates a transient media image, transforming an ephemeral television broadcast into a lyrical and permanent artistic statement through dynamic and energetic marks of colored enamel. A conceptually impactful piece, museum-worthy, perfectly reflecting 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 work is archived at the Archive of Mario Schifano's works cataloged at the M.S. Multistudio Foundation from 1985 to 1997, volume V, published on page 306 reference F9097-6986 and in the Telemarket General Catalogue on page 110, of which a color photocopy will be provided. The Foundation documents and catalog publication photos are attached. The lot will be properly packed and shipped with contracted couriers and with online tracking. For this lot, shipments outside the European Community are not made.
