Acrylic on structured canvas (tela estroflessa). Signed and dated on the reverse. 65.2 x 50 cm. . [KA].
• A dynamic monochrome work between painting and sculpture: intense blue rendered in a precise, three-dimensional form.
• From the artist’s central creative phase of the early 1970s—Bonalumi exhibited in a solo room at the Venice Biennale in 1970.
• With his minimalist “Estroflessioni,” Bonalumi breaks the boundaries of the two-dimensional panel painting.
• A fascinating interplay of light and shadow that enhances the sensory impact of the color.
• Other works by the artist are held in major collections, including the Fondazione Solomon R. Guggenheim, Venice, the Historical Archive of Contemporary Art of the Venice Biennale, and the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis.
Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity issued by the Archivio Bonalumi, Milan, in 1999. The work is listed in the archive under number 73-019.
