Senza titolo, 1975

GPO-0293

Untitled

Collage on primed canvas

30 x 45 cm

Signed and dated on the verso, lower stretcher bar, right: “Giulio Paolini / 1975”

Giancarlo and Danna Olgiati Collection, Lugano

The elements applied to the primed canvas evoke the traces of a presumed painting. Lined up along the edges, starting from the top and in a clockwise direction, are the following elements: a fragment of an unprimed canvas, the fragment of a photograph of a ruler, a piece of black photographic canvas, and a stretcher bar.
The same theme was formulated with other elements in a variant made during the same year (GPO-0292).
