Description from the seller
Immerse yourself in the final, visionary artistic phase of Mario Schifano (1934-1998), undoubted pioneer of Italian Pop Art. This fascinating work belongs to his highly sought-after series of hand-touched photographs, created in the 1990s. Schifano, obsessed with the incessant flow of TV screens and videos, used to immortalize quotidian and cultural media broadcasts, later modifying them with his characteristic energetic enamel gestures. This work in particular captures an intimate studio recording scene, characterized by a subtle, poetic composition that borders on historical documentation, animated by dynamic, fluid lines that alter and sanctify the photographic medium. Museum-quality presentation and visual depth: the piece is presented in its iconic white wooden “cassette” professional frame (frame with a box profile), designed to project the small masterpiece forward, creating an elegant sense of volumetric depth. This presentation greatly enhances its decorative appeal and aesthetic prestige. A high-value investment addition. With Mario Schifano’s market indices steadily rising internationally, these unique hand-painted photographic fragments represent an extraordinary entry point for the savviest collectors aiming for rapid resale or long-term financial growth. A rare opportunity to secure a highly recognizable piece of Italian contemporary history. Conditions: Excellent; Materials: Technique: Hand-retouched enamel photograph; Era: 1990-1997; Color: Dark multimedia scene with white and red graphic interventions. White lacquered frame. Signature: Present (hand-signed by the artist on the label on the back).
The lot will be adequately packed and shipped with contracted couriers and related online tracking. For this lot, shipments outside the European Community are not performed.
