Untitled

Crumpled photographic reproduction applied to a stretcher, coloured pencils on primed canvas

30 x 40 cm (two parts 30 x 20 cm each)

Signed and dated on the verso of the second canvas, lower stretcher bar, left: “Giulio Paolini 1975”

Tommaso Fontana Collection, Rome

The reproduction of a mountain landscape, crumpled up inside an empty stretcher, is accompanied by a primed canvas on which a rectangle filled with coloured pencil drawings duplicates the "vision" of that same image.
The same theme was also formulated in a variant made during the same year (GPO-0290).
