100 - Piero Dorazio (1927–2005)

Piero Dorazio (1927–2005) Original color lithograph on vellum, presented alongside the poem “Pfeilspitze der Ada” by the poet Peter Huchel (reproduced in the poet’s own hand). Published by Erker Verlag, St. Gallen. Signed and dated in pencil, lower right: “Piero Dorazio 1976.” Unnumbered. Dimensions: Full sheet 37 × 57 cm (14.6 × 22.4 in.); image approx. 37 × 28.5 cm (14.6 × 11.2 in.) Condition: Very fine condition, vivid and brilliant colors; central fold as published. Unframed. Lithograph from Dorazio’s famous collaboration with the Erker-Presse in St. Gallen, here paired with a poem by the great German poet Peter Huchel. Dorazio’s characteristic shower of luminous colored strokes converges into an arrowhead (“Pfeilspitze”), echoing the poem placed opposite it.
