Lot Essay

'The surface of a canvas is a surface of two dimensions, and from that surface we make an optical phenomenon, we create an image that produces in the observer a sensation, an emotion, from all of which arises successively a problem, a reasoning, a thought, an idea, let us say in fact a mode of thought and of the spirit; if we do that, then we are in presence of art.' Piero Dorazio
(P. Dorazio and G. Turcato, "Conversazione sull' arte oggi e su cose interessanti in occasione della trentatreesima Biennale di Venezia", in Metro, Milan, no. 11, June 1966, p. 45.)
