Stanza del Liocorno, 1986
GPO-0583
Room of the Unicorn
Oil-painted canvas, primed canvas, plexiglas case
65 x 52 x 52 cm
Private collection
The plexiglas case holds a painted canvas representing the background of Raphael's Dama del Liocorno (1505-07), half-hidden by the crumpled blank canvas that "replaces" the presence of the lady, omitted from the painted canvas.
The work is part of a group of three variants made between 1986 and 1987 (GPO-0583, GPO-0584, GPO-0590), followed in 2005 by a fourth version (GPO-0907). The works are distinguished by the different object that each time is related to the framing of the sixteenth-century arcade.
