GIANFRANCO ZAPPETTINI’S TELE SOVRAPPOSTE ENTERS THE MUSEO DEL NOVECENTO COLLECTION

Gianfranco Zappettini acquired by the permanent collection of the Museo del Novecento in Milan

Gianfranco Zappettini’s 1976 work Tele sovrapposte n. 30/D has been acquired by the permanent collection of the Museo del Novecento in Milan.

 

The work belongs to Zappettini’s distinguished "Tele sovrapposte" cycle – a series in which the artist redefined the boundaries of painting by emphasizing process, materiality and the autonomy of the work itself. This piece was exhibited at documenta 6 in Kassel in 1977, an accolade that confirms Zappettini’s central role in shaping European Analytical Painting in the 1970s.
