Description from the seller
A certified work of extraordinary power, created with mixed technique on photograph by Mario Schifano, legendary pioneer of Italian Pop Art. The piece belongs to his acclaimed 1990s creative cycle, a period in which the artist transformed photographic prints into unique masterpieces, characterized by an immediate and energetic painterly gesture. In this specific work, Schifano operates through a magistral graphic synthesis: sharp, vital strokes of neon white enamel slice through a dark, deep, enigmatic background. The contrast is magnetic and captures that frenetic, anticonformist energy that defined the artist's last decade of production. Set in a splendid triple-white frame that maximizes the visual field of the work, this piece represents a high-profile museum-grade investment with strong market liquidity. Equipped with certification and complete documentation issued by the official Foundation, it constitutes an indispensable acquisition for art investors and prominent collectors of European avant-gardes of the postwar era. Artistic quality and value: a rare example focused on high-contrast linear geometries created with stencil on dark photographic emulsions, a distinctive trait of Schifano's late-studio experimentation. Provenance and authentication: work regularly registered, archived and accompanied by the official Certificate of Authenticity from the
