Alighiero Boetti
This monumental screenprint by Italian conceptual artist Alighiero Boetti transforms the traditional flag format into a vibrant artistic statement through bold color application and the deliberate choice of polyester as a durable support material. By presenting his own name as the subject matter on a flag, Boetti conflates personal identity with national or symbolic imagery, a gesture typical of his practice that challenged conventional distinctions between art and everyday objects. The work exemplifies his interest in seriality, systems, and the relationship between language, form, and meaning that defined his influential career spanning from the 1960s onward.
