Grazia Varisco Kinetic Light artwork 'Schemi luminosi variabili', Italy 1962

About the Item

Rare and important Kinetic light artwork by Grazia Varisco (Milan 1937), Italy 1962. Intriguing work which shows a continuously changing ray of light streams, glittering like stars in the dark night. The work is called R. VOD and is part of the 'Schemi luminosi variabili', a serie of different Kinetic light artworks created between 1961 - 1968. The effect is created by two with a line structure engraved acrylic glass plates, one at the front and one placed behind the front on a rotating motor lit from the back. The engraved lines let the light pass, the crossing lines creates an adjective moving moire effect. Varisco attended the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan from 1956 to 1960. Varisco was part of 'Gruppo T', a collective of artists working in the movement of Kinetic Art & Op Art among them where founders Giovanni Anceschi, Davide Boriani, Gianni Colombo, and Gabriele Devecchi. Works of Varisco can be found in the collection of several important Museums. In excellent original condition.
