DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK
We propose at auction a splendid work by Dario Fo, a multifaceted and fundamental figure of Italian and international culture. The piece, an "Untitled (Figure with cloak)" from 2005 created with mixed media on paper, fully represents the creative force, dynamism, and visual immediacy that characterize the painterly expression of the Nobel Prize winner.
In this work you can grasp the unmistakable stroke of the Master, in which artistic dimension and narrative fuse. We deliberately photographed the piece with various lighting conditions and from different angles to show the details of the technique and the color rendering.
As a guarantee and accompaniment, please note that the work is regularly registered at the Franca Rame Dario Fo Archive.
BIOGRAPHICAL AND CRITICAL NOTES ON THE ARTIST
"I always say that I feel like an amateur actor and a professional painter."
With this famous declaration, Nobel Prize in Literature Dario Fo liked to define his visceral and priority bond with painting.
Dario Fo (Sangiano, 1926 – Milan, 2016) was an Italian playwright, actor, director, writer, author, illustrator, painter, set designer, activist, and comedian. Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1997, he left a deep mark on 20th-century culture.
His output was never limited to theater and writing: painting and drawing have always been at the core of his imagination and the starting point for his dramaturgy. His visual works, imbued with vivid chromatisms, irony, and a deep sense of stage space, have been shown in prestigious exhibitions in Italy and abroad, attracting great interest from critics and collectors, who today recognize their full historical and artistic value.
SHIPPING AND PACKAGING
Packaging: We guarantee professional, rigid, and custom-strengthened packaging designed to maintain the complete integrity of the paper during transit, protected from shocks, creases, and humidity.
Courier: Tracked, fast, and secure shipping via express courier.
Shipping notes: Shipping costs, which may seem slightly higher than average, reflect the special care we take in making the packaging and in choosing reliable couriers. The timeframes indicated on the platform are approximate. We generally ship within the indicated terms, sometimes even earlier. However, during periods of high volume or if issues arise (for example, strikes), shipments may be delayed by a few days. In such cases, we usually keep the buyer continually informed about the order status and keep the package ready to be shipped on the first available business day. If the shipment falls on a Friday, we postpone shipping to Monday to avoid risky storage in depots over the weekend.
Customs and Export (Extra-EU): For buyers outside the European Union, shipping may require the technical time needed to obtain the Export License from MiC (Ministry of Culture).
Any customs duties are the responsibility of the buyer.
Invoicing: Professional seller. The work will be accompanied by a fiscal receipt (or electronic invoice, available upon request by providing your details at the moment of auction).
Frames and glass: The frame, if present, is part of the sale but should be considered a complimentary accessory, so no claims about its condition will be accepted. The conditions are always described exhaustively in the listing. If glass is present, it will be included in the sale only if the lot is picked up in person at our gallery. For shipping, the glass is always removed and thus never considered included in the sale.
