Etching, aquatint, soft paint and drypoint on glossy paper - Signature and number of the specimen in pencil on lower right margin - Embossed stamp on the lower right margin of the editor Franco Masoero, Turin. // Mario Merz's Senza titolo (1991) is a mixed media print that combines etching, aquatint, soft paint, and drypoint techniques on glossy paper. Measuring 21 x 96.5 cm, the work features two pentagonal frames, each containing an abstract representation of a leaf. The delicate red and orange hues of the leaves contrast with the geometric structures of the frames, creating an interplay between organic and constructed forms. Merz’s work often explores themes of nature and geometry, and this untitled piece encapsulates that tension, blending the natural world with human-made structures in a subtle, contemplative composition.

What is Arte Povera?
A movement and style in art that originated in Italy during the 1960s. It integrates elements of minimalism, performance art, and conceptual art by using everyday or seemingly worthless materials, such as newspapers, stones, or rags. The goal was to challenge and subvert the commercialization of art.
