Michelangelo Pistoletto *
(born 1933 in Biella)
Maria, 1989, silk screen on polished stainless steel, signed on the reverse Michelangelo Pistoletto, numbered 13/24, 100 x 100 cm, ed. by. Galerie Xavier Hufkens, pub.

Espace Lulay, Lüttich – acquired directly from the artist
Acquired above by the present owner
Pistoletto began making his Quadri specchianti (Mirror Paintings) in 1961. These works were initially made by applying cut – out painted tissue-paper images of people or objects onto polished stainless steel surfaces. Later he used photographic enlargements silkscreened onto steel, as in the work pictured here. This mirror – painting is depicting Maria, his life long companion and artistic collaborator.
