ROBERTO SEBASTIAN MATTA (1911-2002)

This lot is sold together with a certificate of authenticity from the Roberto Matta Archive.

Surrealist artist Sergio Matta developed the Margarita chair using a discarded oil barrel in 1969, whilst the artist was residing in Tarquinia (illustrated). Three prototypes were then executed, respectively white, red and black painted, all handmade and unique. The model was subsequently editioned by Dino Gavina in eight, cast bronze examples in 1971 (illustrated).
