Fucile (2-teilig). 1980.
Oil on canvas with colored glazed ceramic gun.
Signed on the reverse, dated twice and illegibly inscribed. 203 x 230 cm (79.9 x 90.5 in). [CH].
• Enzo Cucchi uses a wide variety of techniques and means of expression, combining painting, drawing, and sculpture to create a broad repertoire of forms with complex signs and symbols.
• His art is not characterized by formal strength and conceptual rigor, but rather by imaginative power and meaningful content.
• Cucchi's homeland in the Marche region, its landscape, people, and regional legends are frequent elements of his personal iconography.
• His paintings from the 1980s, which are far removed from the present and oscillate between vision, idea, and dream, are the artist's most sought-after works on the international auction market.
PROVENANCE: Galerie Michael Haas, Berlin (stamped on the stretcher).
Art trade, Germany.
Private collection, southern Germany (acquired from the above in 2013, Ketterer Kunst, Munich).
