Specialist note

This poster, published in 5,000 black-and-white copies, was displayed in Galleria Ariete Grafica in 1977 during a personal review of Boetti’s work nearby Galleria dell’Arieta. Some posters were handed out to children at Casa del Sole School to be coloured in and then displayed in gallery. (G. Maffei and M. Picciau (eds.), Alighiero Boetti: Beyond Books, Mantova 2011, p. 265).
