Il Cimento dell’Armonia e dell’ Invenzione (3)
1969
A complex and visually arresting grid-based work, this piece exemplifies Boetti's fascination with systems of order, repetition, and chance, inviting the viewer to navigate an intricate tapestry of patterns and symbols. The title, borrowed from Vivaldi's violin concertos, evokes a dialogue between harmony and invention — the tension between structure and spontaneity that defined much of Boetti's conceptual practice. Characteristically collaborative in spirit, the work reflects his engagement with anonymous craftspeople, blurring the boundaries between authorship, process, and design.
