GILBERTO ZORIO | Per Purificare la Parole

Artiscope Gallery, Brussels
Acquired from the above by the present owner

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the glass is more green in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is some light oxidation and signs of wear to the iron where the work was previously mounted to the wall. Close inspection reveals a few small losses to the black wax. There are media accretions inside the glass and some light wear to the outside of the glass. All other surface irregularities appear to be original.

“My works are meant to be energy itself…because they are always living works, or they are works in progress.”
