Lot description
Gastone Novelli emerged as an important member of the same 1950s Italian art scene that produced Cy Twombly and Robert Rauschenberg. Novelli's work evokes the spirit of experimental poetry. His alphabetic paintings are non gestural and appear almost gritty, like graffiti-covered walls. Something far ahead of its time.
