Description of the Work: "Cavernicolo, 1962" by Pino Pascali
Pino Pascali: Caveman, The Emergence of Arte Povera in a Youthful Evidence
"Cavernicolo" is an early work by Pino Pascali, created in 1962 using mixed media on cardboard. It measures 16 x 22 cm.
Although Pascali is renowned for his sculptures and installations that defined Arte Povera, his works from the early 1960s, such as this one, demonstrate his first experiments with an abstract and material pictorial language. The title "Cavernicolo" evokes a primordial and raw image, consistent with his interest in matter and elementary forms. The work comes from a private collection and is accompanied by a certificate of archival origin issued by the Pino Pascali Archive.
