Poster for the exhibition «Vitalità nell'arte» in Venice. Hand signed artist's copies from an edition of almost 100 proofs in many colour variations (only some of which were signed). The sheets give a close-up insight into the artist's working methods. In his search for the perfect composition of colours, Jorn «[…] moved his workspace to the printing house, and next to the machines he amused himself - you can believe him - by trying out all possible colour assemblies, exploring all combinations.» from: Paolo Marionotti, Dipingere con le macchine, cited after van de Loo 221.
Published by Centro Internazionale delle Arti e del Costume, Venice. Printed by Amilcare Pizzi, Milan.
Provenance: private collection Lake Constance.
Catalogue raisonné: van de Loo 221.
