Mimmo Rotella (1918-2006) - Blank Cynar

An exceptional and rare investment opportunity for elite collectors of contemporary art. This vibrant, museum-quality work is signed by the undisputed master of Nouveau Réalisme and Pop Art, Mimmo Rotella (1918–2006). Entitled "Blank Cynar" (2000), the piece forms a perfect bridge between the historic Italian pop advertising culture and the raw expressionism of street art. Rotella masterfully deconstructs the legendary 1960s/70s Cynar artichoke liqueur advertisement, famous for the slogan "Contro il logorio della vita moderna". What gives this lot its exclusive value is its nature: it is an official Artist’s Proof (A.P.), traditionally destined for the artist’s private collection and excluded from the standard numbered edition. A work of great visual impact and decisive character, standing as an impeccable monument of late 20th-century Italian pop culture. Technical description and condition: The work is executed with a sophisticated, high-quality mixed technique. The structural base consists of a sharp, multi-color screen print on high-grade, premium paper, produced by handcraft. On the iconic typography sits a refined collage of bright green translucent tissue paper (applied by hand), which lends an enigmatic and veiled depth, making every print in this project practically unique. Signatures and annotations: Hand-signed in pencil by Mimmo Rotella in the lower right corner. It bears the label "A.P." (Artist’s Proof) written in pencil in the lower left corner. Condition: Excellent. The paper retains its original white margins and crisp edges, with intact fibers. The colors are intense and vibrant, free from fading due to sunlight or moisture damage. The work is housed in a minimalist, essential wooden frame, complete with a professional protective mount. An authentic graphic masterpiece, widely documented, created by one of Italy’s most represented artists of the century on the international auction scene. Dimensions of the Serigraph: 80 x 60 cm. A Certificate of Authenticity from the Galleria San Gallo is attached. The lot will be carefully packaged and shipped with approved couriers and linked online tracking.
