Mario Schifano (1934-1998), an artist with a rebellious and sharp soul, is now considered one of the most prolific painters of the post-war period.
He immediately attracted critics by creating monochrome paintings that offer the idea of a photographic screen that would later accommodate numbers, letters, road signs, and the brands of Esso and Coca Cola. He lives between Rome and New York, a city that allows him to meet Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns and Andy Warhol, artists from whom he will draw much inspiration.
His personal exhibitions are held all over the world and his works remain among the most sought after by collectors and art enthusiasts.
