專家說明

This cotton ball achrome highlights our personal predilection for this type of work by Manzoni. These cotton balls against a red velvet background eloquently express the concept of the work: the orderly arrangement of the cotton balls constituting the material and the form of the picture, the artist's original white wooden box that contains them; the back of the work sealed with pieces of canvas.
A highly respectable pedigree, and an excellent provenance, make this an achrome that you would be proud to take home. Even if you know that the uninitiated will ask you who is this artist who frames cotton balls, and why does he do so? You will answer only those who question you with a particular light in their eyes, in which you detect wonder and the need to know. Ignore the others.
