Untitled

Ink on squared paper applied to masonite panel

80 x 60 cm

Signed and dated on the verso, upper stretcher bar, right: “Giulio Paolini 1962”

Private collection, Turin

The modular units of graph paper juxtaposed at minimum intervals on a masonite support each feature the design of a linear rectangle, which varies each time in terms of format and proportions.
The series of anonymous and interchangeable figures, arranged on a visible background, asserts the painting's status as a support or as a frame for its same potential variants.
