Description from the seller
Mimmo Rotella (1918–2006)
Frammenti d'immagine – descriptive title, 1975
Color etching and aquatint on paper, edition 13/50, signed at the lower right and numbered at the lower left.
Sheet dimensions: 65 × 50 cm.
The work features a composition of figurative fragments, overlapping images, and diagonal marks that seem to cut across and erode the printed surface.
The visual language evokes Mimmo Rotella’s exploration of image fragmentation and the transformation of visual communication, central themes in his artistic practice.
Created in 1975, the print belongs to a limited edition of 50 and bears witness to the artist’s interest in graphic experimentation through intaglio techniques.
Provenance: Basezero Auction House, auction of July 13, 2026, lot 64.
Documentation: certificate of provenance and authenticity issued by the auction house.
Condition: framed work, with natural yellowing of the paper and small localized traces of moisture, as shown in the photographs. The reverse and the condition of the paper beneath the frame have not been examined.
The work will be carefully packed and shipped with a tracking service.
International shipping and customs charges
International buyers are welcome.
For shipments to countries outside the customs territory or VAT area of the European Union, customs duties, local taxes, and customs clearance fees may apply.
These charges are not included in the hammer price or shipping costs and, where applicable, are payable by the buyer.
International bidders are therefore advised to check for any import costs before participating in the auction.
