Description from the seller
Maurizio Galimberti (Como, 1956)
Christo Readymade, affezione no. 512, 2011
Original Polaroid by Maurizio Galimberti applied to a postcard depicting “Wrapped Reichstag, Berlin 1971–1995”, project by Christo and Jeanne-Claude.
The composition relates the view of the wrapped Reichstag with Galimberti's photographic reinterpretation: over the sharpness of the postcard lies the instant image, characterized by a sense of movement and overlapping.
The work bears on the front the autograph signatures of Maurizio Galimberti and Christo.
On the back there are:
- stamp “By Maurizio Galimberti – Mail Art – 2011”;
- stamp “Readymade – By Maurizio Galimberti 2011 – To Archivio Nordest / Christo affezione”;
- title and signature of Maurizio Galimberti.
Accompanied by archival documentation on photography from the Archivio Nordest, no. 9362, with autograph signature of Maurizio Galimberti, included in the lot.
Dimensions reported in the catalog: 23 × 16.5 cm.
Provenance: Casa d’Aste Minghini, auction no. 22, third session, lot 250.
Conservation status: excellent.
The photographs of the work, the signatures, the back and the documentation are an integral part of the description.
Shipping note: the indicated rate applies to mainland destinations. Shipments to Balearic Islands and other remote/island areas may require an additional carrier surcharge. Please contact the seller before bidding. No shipping to Canary Islands or non-EU destinations unless specifically agreed.
