AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An extraordinary and iconic work by Mario Schifano (1934–1998), one of the absolute pioneers of European Pop Art and of the Piazza del Popolo School. This work belongs to his celebrated and highly sought-after series of "Tele/Foto Computerizzate"—hand-retouched photographs taken from television screens. Schifano isolates a transitory media image, transforming an ephemeral TV broadcast into a lyrical and permanent artistic statement through dynamic and energetic strokes of colored enamel. A conceptually powerful piece, museum-worthy, that perfectly reflects 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 Mario Schifano Works Archive cataloged by the M.S. Multistudio Foundation from 1985 to 1997, volume V°, and published at page 33, reference F9097-0103. Attached are the Foundation documents and catalog publication photos.
The lot will be properly packed and shipped with contracted couriers and online traceability. For this lot we do not ship outside the European Community.
