About the Item

A marvellous and extremely rare work by one of the most important artists of contemporary kinetic art, Alberto Biasi (Padua, 1937). This work bears the artist's own handwritten inscription on the back with the wonderful title “L’essere umano era ed è circondato dall’ignoto” (Human beings were and are surrounded by the unknown) and the datet 1973 It is part of the prestigious series of works called Politipo, created using the extremely difficult technique invented by Biasi, which involves relief PVC strips on a painted board. The greatest artists of the Kinetic Art movement, such as Alexander Calder, Jean Tinguely, Jesus Rafael Soto and Carlos Cruz-Diez, have inspirate the work of Alberto Biasi, who has reinterpreted their ideas through the innovative use of PVC slats. The work, signed, titled and dated on the back, is protected by glass and a frame. This artwork, never before on the market, comes from an important European private collection and is beautified by an impressive original frame in ebanised wood, in almost perfect condition.

In 1959, Gruppo N was founded in Padua, a collective of visionary artists including Alberto Biasi (Padua, 1937). Together with Ennio Chioggia, Toni Costa, Edoardo Landi and Manfredo Massironi, they created luminescent rooms where mechanics danced with artificial light, creating an immersive experience for visitors. In his relentless optical-kinetic research, Alberto Biasi explored the magic of lamellae, which, when applied to a background, gave life to a constantly evolving work, dancing under the gaze of the observer. This innovative approach is evident in works such as “Torsioni”, where the continuous mobility of the work is a metaphor for human perception. Alberto Biasi's imagination knows no bounds, and to the painted lamellae with their blurred edges, he adds colourful, multi-layered backgrounds, summarised in his optical-kinetic works or in his Polyptychs, right up to his most recent Assemblages. Alberto Biasi (Padua, June 2, 1937) is an Italian painter among the co-founders of the N Group and an exponent of Italian programmed art and kinetics Born in Padua on June 2, 1937, where he currently lives and works, he is one of the main exponents of Italian kinetic art. In particular, his name is linked to the season of maximum popularity of optical-kinetic art, thanks to his artistic creations built on the basis of precise optical illusions. His paintings generally have surfaces that change appearance depending on the angle of observation, thus giving the illusory sensation of movement. In 1959, together with some peers students of Architecture, he founded the Enne-A Group. In 1960 he exhibited together with Agostino Bonalumi, Enrico Castellani, Piero Manzoni and other European artists at the Azimut Gallery in Milan. In the same year, with Ennio Chiggio, Toni Costa, Edoardo Landi and Manfredo Massironi formed the Group N. In 1961 he joined the "Nuove tendenze" movement and, in 1962, exhibited together with Gruppo N at the Arte exhibition programmed at the Olivetti Store in Milan and with Bruno Munari, Enzo Mari and Gruppo T (Giovanni Anceschi, Davide Boriani, Gabriele Devecchi, Gianni Colombo, Grazia Varisco). Between 1959 and 1960 he made the Plots, reticular and permeable objects made with perforated papers. This series is soon compared to that of optical-dynamic reliefs, in which lamellar structures superimposed on tables with contrasting colors create particular visual effects. The first Twists also date back to the same period, works developed on classic geometric shapes (square, circle, triangle and rectangle), made with PVC slats on a table, capable of creating perceptive effects that vary with the movement of the viewer. In 1962 he designed the Light prism that will be made in environmental dimensions in 1969. After the experience of Gruppo N, Alberto Biasi proceeds with his investigation as a soloist and, at the end of the sixties, elaborates the first Polytypes. A few decades later, at the end of the 1990s, he made the Assemblaggios. His collective and personal exhibitions are countless, his participation in fundamental exhibitions in the history of kinetic art, such as "Nove Tendencije" in Zagreb and the great exhibition "The responsive eye" at the MoMa in New York. More recently, a large anthology at the Museum of the Hermits in Padua is remembered in 1988, in 1995 the retrospective "Biasi and the ENNE Group at the Venice Biennale, in 2006 the exhibition of about thirty of his historical works in the Hermitage Halls in St. Petersburg, in 2007 the exhibition at the Diocesan Museum of Barcelona and the participation in 2008 in the International Triennale of Contemporary Art in Prague.
