Mimmo Rotella (1918-2006) - Journal

An exceptional buying opportunity for the most refined collectors of 20th-century avant-garde art. This large-format, materially textured screen print of extraordinary refinement is the work of the legendary Italian master of Nouveau Réalisme and Pop Art, Mimmo Rotella (1918–2006). Titled "Journal" (2000), this masterpiece is part of the historic and acclaimed art portfolio "I Maestri del '900". In this visually striking composition, Rotella pays a deep Pop-inflected homage to the early Cubism, recreating the iconic fragmented newspaper typography of the historical avant-gardes (the word "JOURNAL") and filtering it through his distinctive visual language, characterized by urban tears, layering, and intense chromatic depth with a tactile texture. What elevates this specific lot to a premium investment level is its extreme rarity: it belongs to the exclusive edition numbered in Roman numerals (exemplar X/XX), strictly reserved for high-profile collectors and institutional archives, and distinct from the more common Arabic-numbered edition. A superb, vibrant work of museum quality, destined to become the centerpiece of any prestigious modern setting or a refined private collection. Technical description and condition: The work is executed using a sophisticated thick, tactile serigraphy technique, which gives the high-quality heavyweight art paper a tactile texture. Signatures and provenance: Hand-signed in pencil by Mimmo Rotella in the lower right corner. Manually numbered in pencil (X/XX) in the lower left corner. The lot is accompanied by the official and complete Certificate of Authenticity (CoA), with corresponding photographic reference, issued by the renowned Sangallo Fine Art gallery. Condition and framing: The print is in impeccable museum condition, with incredibly vivid colors (pure yellows, electric blues, greens, and ochres) and perfectly clean white margins free of imperfections. The piece is professionally presented and protected within a minimalist contemporary natural wood frame, complete with a pristine white mat. Dimensions of the Serigraphy: 60 x 80 cm. A Certificate of Authenticity from the San Gallo Gallery is enclosed. The lot will be carefully packed and shipped with partnered couriers and online tracking. For this lot, shipments outside the European Community are not performed.
