Lot description - from the online catalogue*
Provenance:
In the early 60s, the magazine BolaffiArte, a joint venture between the Italian magazine publisher Bolaffi and the publisher Giorgio Mondadori originated the idea of having prominent artists design the cover of each edition. A hundred or more painters and sculptors from different schools all over the world participated. From de Chirico to Warhol, from Mirò to Schifano, from Marini to Moore and many others, in styles including figurative, informal, abstract, conceptual or pop created a piece that the publisher used for the magazine and that Bolaffi assembled in a unique and unrepeatable print, signed and numbered.The artists were typically asked to interpret a specific annual theme (the zodiac, the alphabet, the 7 deadly sins, etc.). Along with the cover design, Bolaffiarte also produced a limited edition print that was made available to the public.
