Ritratto. Oil on canvas . Cm 70,00 x 60,00. Signed lower right. "From a comparative analysis with other works of this period, in particular the rendering of the figure and the background, the work could have been made between 1959 and 1961. However, on the back, on the top right of the frame, we can see the Pistoletto's name and the number 62. It could therefore also be 1962, the year in which Pistoletto's research had already arrived at various solutions (the figures on reflective black backgrounds in 1961 and the first mirror paintings from 1962, which does not exclude that the date may be 1962". We thank the Pistoletto Archive for the contribution.
