Michelangelo Pistoletto — Pagina Di Specchio (Mirrored Page)
Michelangelo Pistoletto

Pagina Di Specchio (Mirrored Page)

Michelangelo Pistoletto's *Pagina Di Specchio (Mirrored Page)* exemplifies the Italian Arte Povera master's lifelong fascination with the viewer's role in completing the artwork, as the reflective surface transforms the print into a dynamic, ever-changing composition that incorporates the surrounding environment and the observer's own image. The screenprint on a mirrored surface blurs the boundary between artwork and reality, inviting an intimate dialogue between the static printed elements and the fluid reflections captured within. Presented as issued — complete with colophon, backing board, and original case — the work retains the integrity of Pistoletto's vision as both an art object and a conceptual statement about perception and presence.

Medium
Screenprint, on reflective surface, the full sheet, mounted to backing board (as issued), with the colophon, contained in the original case.
