AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Andrea Raccagni (1921–2005)
Untitled, 1956
Historical mixed media with sheet metal inclusions on canvas laid down on masonite board
Canvas dimensions: 27 x 31 cm
Board dimensions: 36 x 42 cm
Framed dimensions: approx. 46 x 52 cm

Signature and date:
• Hand-signed and dated by the artist on the upper front: "ARaccagni 56".

Critical context:
An exceptional and rare historical artwork from 1956, the pivotal period of Italian Material Informalism (Informale Materico). Raccagni explores the physical density of the matter by incorporating distressed sheet metal elements, oxidized textures, and deep blue pigments onto canvas. A true collector's piece resonating with the 1950s post-war European avant-garde.

Condition and framing:
• Condition: Excellent preserved condition, stable textures and securely anchored metal inclusions.
• Framing: Beautifully presented in a handcrafted wooden frame with a black deep-set inner mount enhancing the tactile relief. The frame is included as a courtesy gift.

Shipping:
Professional heavy-duty packaging with rigid double panels to protect the relief elements. Fast, insured, and tracked international express shipping.
