Michelangelo Pistoletto – Prima Scena: Miniatura (2009)

Created in 2009, Prima Scena: Miniatura is a signed screenprint on Supermirror stainless steel by Michelangelo Pistoletto, a defining figure of Arte Povera and one of Italy’s most consequential post-war artists. The work belongs to Pistoletto’s celebrated reflective vocabulary—rooted in his iconic Quadri specchianti—where the mirror-like surface transforms the viewer and surrounding space into an active component of the image, collapsing the boundary between artwork, audience, and lived environment.

Issued in a strictly limited edition of 300 Arabic-numbered impressions (plus 30 Roman-numbered), this example is hand-numbered 121/300 and hand-signed by the artist, with signature and edition details recorded on the verso. Produced by Arte3, Milan, it was conceived within the wider framework of the Cittadellarte Fashion Bio Ethical Sustainable Trend project—an initiative aligning art, social responsibility, and sustainability, themes that are central to Pistoletto’s practice and enduring cultural relevance. For collectors, the combination of museum-grade materiality, documented editioning, and direct authorship marks an acquisition that sits convincingly at the intersection of historical significance and long-term desirability within the market for major Italian contemporary prints and multiples.
