Description
Fabrizio Plessi "Progetto Nº 29 Sulla Morsa" signed limited edition print, numbered /XX.
Condition: New.
Rendered like a page from an inventor's notebook, this print shows a heavy bench vise drawn in pencil over a measured grid on pink-orange graph paper, squeezing an orange, spotted sponge-like block until streaks of blue and rainbow-colored liquid run out beneath it. Handwritten Italian notes, including the heading "Sulla Morsa" and a plan for a short 16mm black-and-white film, annotate the design; the image is set on a white border mounted on a wide gray sheet.
About the /XX edition: Italian print editions were commonly issued in two runs, a main edition numbered in Arabic numerals and a much smaller run of copies numbered in Roman numerals (I/XX through XX/XX), often reserved for the artist, publisher, or collaborators. Plessi's own published editions followed this practice, so a Roman-numeral impression comes from the smallest and scarcest part of the print run, which is why collectors look for it.
About the artist: Fabrizio Plessi, born in Reggio Emilia in 1940 and trained at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Venice, made water the central theme of his work from the late 1960s onward. His playful "Progetti" drawings of impossible machines for cutting, sawing, and channeling water led to the monumental video installations he became known for, shown at the Venice Biennale and documenta 8 in Kassel.
