Condition
This work appears to be in generally good overall condition. The shallow scratches towards the upper and lower margins and the rusty areas are inherent to the artist's choice of media.

Catalogue Note
"Sono contro il mondo di Andy Warhol e degli epigoni di oggi. Voglio restaurare l'atmosfera vissuta dai Cubisti. Sono contro la condizione di paralisi alla quale ci ha condotto il dopoguerra. Ricerco invece nei frammenti (emotivi e formali) la storia dispersa. Sono contro l'estetica della catastrofe; sono partigiano della felicità"
"I am against Andy Warhol’s world and today’s epigones. I want to restore the atmosphere experienced by the Cubists. I am against the paralyzing condition to which the post-war led us. I search instead into the fragments (emotional and formal) the dispersed history. I am against the aesthetics of the catastrophe; I am a partisan of happiness."
