Vincenzo Agnetti *
(Milan 1926–1981) La memoria è un percorso a ritroso che apre parti inviolate, on the reverse signed, dated Agnetti 72, black Bakelite, engraved by hand with white nitro lacquer, 80 x 80 cm, (PP)
Photo certificate issued by the Archivio Vincenzo Agnetti, Milan, archive no. 159
Provenance:
Private Collection, Italy
According to Agnetti, knowledge and understanding in their entirety make contact with mankind through culture: language, with all its contradictions, allows images to form which we then absorb as emotional information. Geometric surfaces in Bakelite (space) and mathematical formulae (time) are thus the work of axioms. Concepts of codified space, territory and (theoretical and phenomenal) time all merge and disintegrate on black panels, providing the preconditions of intuition with a formal framework, and creating the foundations for human knowledge.
