{"product_id":"giosetta-fioroni-il-gatto-borges-2012","title":"Giosetta Fioroni — Il Gatto Borges (2012)","description":"\u003cp\u003eGiosetta Fioroni (b. 1932) stands among the most significant voices of post-war Italian art and remains one of the very few women to have held a central position within Rome’s Scuola di Piazza del Popolo. Across painting, drawing, and installation, her practice has consistently balanced lyrical imagery with personal memory and an acute reflection on the language of images—an approach that has secured her a lasting place within the Italian and European museum canon, with works held in major collections including MAXXI, GNAM, Museo del Novecento, and the Centre Pompidou.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIl Gatto Borges (2012) belongs to Fioroni’s mature, recent production, where her pictorial vocabulary engages reflective and non-conventional surfaces. Executed in enamel and oil on mirror, the work activates its environment: the mirrored support folds the viewer’s presence and surrounding space into the composition, extending Fioroni’s enduring investigation of the image as apparition and remembrance. The result is both intimate and theatrical—an evocative figure suspended between suggested figuration and poetic abstraction, rendered with the symbolic restraint and lyrical tension that define her most recognizable works.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom a collecting perspective, unique works from the 2000s onward have attracted steady attention, particularly when realized on unconventional supports and in mixed techniques. Public auction results for comparable recent unique works have ranged broadly—from approximately €70,000 to above €120,000 depending on medium, scale, and curatorial context—while landmark works from the 1960s and 1970s have exceeded €150,000, reinforcing sustained institutional and market interest across her oeuvre. In this context, Il Gatto Borges offers a museum-aligned, materially distinctive example of Fioroni’s late language: a singular work whose concept and support intensify the artist’s long-standing themes of perception, memory, and the viewer’s role in completing the image.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Collecto Archive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53877208482132,"sku":"3594","price":18563.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0975\/9083\/7588\/files\/file-1770394818413-1.png?v=1772726035","url":"https:\/\/collectoarchive.com\/products\/giosetta-fioroni-il-gatto-borges-2012","provider":"Collecto Archive","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
