Livella verticale (Vertical Level)

1966, printed 1973

Giovanni Anselmo

Associated Names

Giovanni Anselmo

Artist, Italian, born 1934

This image features a vertical strip resembling a light wood texture with round, metallic circular components placed along the left side. The rest of the image is dominated by a vast expanse of uniform, off-white color. The juxtaposition of the textured wood against the flat background suggests a utilitarian object in a minimalist setting.
