About the Item

This piece is unique in a series of only seven made. Wall-hanging sculpture, Torino, Italy, ca. 1965; Copper-washed ironwork and welded spill castings, metallic enameled copper; signed verso. Studio Del Campo in Turin, Italy (1957-1998), was a collaborative name shared by craftsmen-artists Virgilio Bari, Euclide Chiambretti, Lidia Lanfranconi, and Bianca Tuninetto. Characteristics of their enamel works were the extreme precision of the finishes and the use of silver leaf under glazes, as well as searching for new designs and new forms. Always able to bring attention to the quality of their works, they agreed to work only for prestigious designers such as Gio Ponti and the architects Toni Cordero and Ettore Sottsass. Virgilio Bari was also an independent painter and sculptor.
