Mario Schifano Artist (1934-1998), an artist with a rebellious and edgy soul, is now considered one of the most prolific painters of the post-war period.
He immediately attracted critics by creating monochrome paintings that offered the idea of a photographic screen that would later accommodate numbers, letters, road signs, and the Esso and Coca Cola brands. He lived between Rome and New York, a city that allowed him to meet Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns and Andy Warhol, artists from whom he drew much inspiration.
His solo exhibitions have been set up all over the world, and his works remain among the most sought after by collectors and art lovers.
