Catalogue Note
“Disegno Geometrico amounts to the decision to copy onto a canvas, in the correct proportion, the preliminary design of any design, that is the geometric squaring of the surface… [q]ualifying it as an absolute and indeterminate presence, not as a vehicle for an image which had been produced once and for all.”
(the artist quoted in: Germano Celant, Giulio Paolini, Turin 1972, p. 16)
