Lot Essay

Rizzoli referred to his works created between 1935 and 1944 by the acronym SYMPA. “A” was Rizzoli’s amplification of the four other categories, all of which appeared in the Achilles Tectonic Exhibit (A.T.E.) portfolio, where he recorded and commemorated his art. The present lot is an index of Rizzoli’s A.T.E. work, which he frequently amended and updated as his body of work expanded.
