Disegni (L. 1000), 1964

GPC-0045

Drawings (L. 1000)

Sheet of drawing paper with autograph inscription, 1000 Lire banknote

Signed and dated on the recto of the sheet of drawing paper, upper left: “Giulio Paolini 1964”

Present whereabouts unknown

The display case should be set up on an opaque white plinth (about 80 x 80 x 50 cm or in any case slightly larger than the display case), or, in a domestic situation, on a table or other horizontal support surface. The display case must be as follows: height 20 cm, variable width and length depending on the size of the sheet of drawing paper, however enough to leave at least 5 cm leeway on each of the four sides.
The sheet should be arranged on the bottom of the display case so that it is slightly askew and in an open position (the signed side should be considered the recto).
The fold in the sheet must remain clearly visible – possibly just slightly lifting the upper half of the sheet – to avoid a flattening effect. The banknote should be placed so that it is askew on the sheet.
