ANSELMO (Giovanni). Leggere. [Turin], Marco Noire, 1996, folio, in sheets, under 2 blue cardboard covers (original cardboard enclosed). Portfolio with 11 silk-screened plates in black and white. First edition printed at 60 copies, signed by the artist. The word "Leggere" (Read) is printed on each of the 11 plates in different sizes, from the very small, almost invisible, to the very large, with a piece of a single letter invading the whole page. The work begins with a completely white plate and ends with a deep black plate. Italian artist, Giovanni Anselmo (°1934) is, with Mario Merz, Jannis Kounellis and Gilberto Zorrio, one of the leading figures of Arte povera, a movement that appeared in Turin in 1967. In the 1970s, Giovanni Anselmo replaces the materials by the words (thus approaching the conceptual art) by questioning the relationship between the virtual and the real. Nice and rare copy.
