Watercolor on handmade paper - Certificate from Archivio Alighiero Boetti, nº 10271 // Alighiero Boetti's Non parto non resto (Nove quadrati), created in 1979, is a unique watercolor composition on handmade paper that measures 19.5 x 19 cm. This artwork, with its pastel shades of yellow, pink, green, and lavender, combines lettered squares in a grid, forming words that evoke the Italian phrase 'Non parto non resto,' meaning 'I do not leave, I do not stay.' The piece exemplifies Boetti's fascination with language, pattern, and symmetry, as well as his exploration of dualities and paradoxes in human experience. The irregular edges of the handmade paper enhance its organic feel, juxtaposed against the geometric arrangement of letters. The piece holds a certificate from Archivio Alighiero Boetti, No. 10271.

What is mail art?
Mail Art is a populist art movement centered on the creation and exchange of small-scale artworks through the postal service. It developed out of the Fluxus movement in the 1950s and 1960s and has since evolved into a global art movement. Ray Johnson is recognized as the first mail artist, and his New York School is considered the first network of mail artists. Mail artists rely heavily on a network to exchange their works, often creating a community of artists connected through the postal system.
