Notes:
Valerio Adami (Italian, 1935 -) is an important European artist, who first came to international prominence in the 1960s with Nouvelle Figuration, the French intellectual version of Pop art.  Adami's work is steeped in political, social and moral mythologies.
The present lot, in a highly desirable large format, is an excellent example of Valerio Adami’s style which mixes classic Pop Art colors, and flat forms with thick black contours evoking the appearance of cartoons, with social, philosophical and literary references.
