Arnaldo Pomodoro's 2003 etching "Untitled for Art and Research (Ca…" is being offered for sale. The work is an artist's proof on wove paper, signed and annotated p.a., one of only 15 proofs aside from the regular edition of 150. It was created to support the "Art and Research" event in Milan, sponsored by the Mario Negri Pharmacological Research Institute, and published by Art 3, Alberto Serighelli. The piece is framed under UV Plexiglass and measures 12.75 x 12.5 x 1.5 inches framed.
The listing provides a comprehensive biography of Pomodoro, tracing his career from his early restoration work in Pesaro through his move to Milan, his encounters with major artists like Lucio Fontana and Alberto Giacometti, his participation in the São Paulo Bienal and Venice Biennale, and his numerous public commissions worldwide. This matters because it contextualizes the work within Pomodoro's broader legacy as a celebrated Italian sculptor known for his geometric forms and monumental public installations, making the print a collectible piece tied to both a specific charitable event and the artist's established market.
