How did Mimmo Rotella make his decollages?
1 Answer
To make his decollages, Mimmo Rotella sourced posters from the streets. He would remove these advertisements from walls and then rip them into pieces. He carefully reassembled them by gluing them onto canvas. Then, he would destroy the canvas and reassemble the pieces to create a new work. Rotella called these pieces his “double collages.” Shop a collection of Mimmo Rotella art on 1stDibs.
