AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
LUCIO DEL PEZZO (1933–2020)
Amarcord – Albisola, 2002
Original glazed ceramic work with raised applied element.
Unique piece, according to the auction house’s cataloguing.
Dimensions: 33 × 33 cm.
Signed, titled and dated on the reverse.
DESCRIPTION
Amarcord, created in 2002, is an original ceramic composition by Lucio Del Pezzo, characterized by a rigorous geometric synthesis and a refined contrast between materials, surfaces and color.
The work has a square structure with rounded corners, modeled with a concave surface and finished in a dark brown tone with a matte texture.
At the center is an applied three-dimensional triangular ceramic element, glazed in an intense turquoise color.
The glossy surface of the applied element, with its distinctive variations in color, contrasts with the matte finish of the support, lending depth and visual impact to the composition.
The result is a work that lies between sculpture, bas-relief and art ceramics, expressing Del Pezzo’s exploration of the relationship between geometry, object and space.
SIGNATURE AND PROVENANCE
Handwritten inscriptions on the reverse give the title, place, year and signature:
Amarcord – Albisola, 2002 – Del Pezzo
A metal hanging system for wall display is present.
Documented provenance:
Casa d’Aste Basezero
ASTACONTE26 – Modern and Contemporary Art
October 22, 2026 – Lot 6
The work is described in the auction catalogue as a unique piece and is accompanied by a certificate of provenance and authenticity issued by the auction house.
THE ARTIST
Lucio Del Pezzo (Naples, 1933 – Milan, 2020) was one of the leading figures of the Italian avant-garde in the second half of the twentieth century.
In 1958, he took part in the founding of Gruppo 58 in Naples, associated with Neo-Dadaist practices and the Nuclear Art Movement.
His artistic production is distinguished by the use of geometric forms, assemblages, three-dimensional elements and compositions that transcend the traditional boundaries between painting and sculpture.
He participated in the Venice Biennale in 1964 and 1966.
Over the course of his career, he also pursued research into ceramics, creating works and monumental installations, including reliefs for the Naples Metro.
CONDITION
The work appears to be in good overall condition.
The front surface retains the support’s distinctive matte finish and the brilliance of the turquoise glaze.
Minor surface irregularities and small marks are visible on the reverse and along some edges, as documented in the photographs.
No obvious structural fractures are apparent in the available images.
The photographs form an integral part of the description.
SHIPPING
Professional packaging with ceramic-specific protection, cushioning materials and a double rigid container.
Tracked and insured shipping, where available.
Auction house documentation included, if physically available.
