Etching, aquatint, soft paint and drypoint on glossy paper - Signature and number of the specimen in pencil on lower right margin - Embossed stamp on the lower right margin of the editor Franco Masoero, Turin.

Mario Merz's Senza titolo (1991) is a mixed media print that combines etching, aquatint, soft paint, and drypoint techniques on glossy paper. Measuring 21 x 96.5 cm, the work features two pentagonal frames, each containing an abstract representation of a leaf. The delicate red and orange hues of the leaves contrast with the geometric structures of the frames, creating an interplay between organic and constructed forms. Merz’s work often explores themes of nature and geometry, and this untitled piece encapsulates that tension, blending the natural world with human-made structures in a subtle, contemplative composition.

Mario Merz (Italy, 1925–2003) was a central figure in the Arte Povera movement, known for his use of everyday materials like glass, neon, and organic elements. His iconic igloos and Fibonacci sequences explore themes of nature, time, and space. Merz's work redefined contemporary art by blending conceptual ideas with tactile forms.

Mixed Media

Mixed MediaMixed media refers to artwork that incorporates more than one medium within a single piece. Unlike multimedia art, which combines distinct forms of visual art and often includes elements like sound, video, or digital media, mixed media focuses on combining traditional art materials, such as paint, ink, and collage. Mixed media art allows artists to achieve a wide range of effects and textures by layering and blending different materials.

Conceptual Art is a sounding instrument between printed words, luminous writings, and letters scrawled in a hasty nervous instinctive calligraphy.
- Mario Merz

Mario Merz was an Italian artist who began drawing during the Second World War. He and his wife, Marisa Merz, were connected with the growth of Arte Povera. He cast aside the subjectivity of abstract expressionism and pursued instead the opportunities associated with the outdoors. As with many artists of the time, Mario Merz used mixed media in a variety of ways. For example, starting in the mid 1960s, he began exploring the ways in which life could transmit energy to inorganic material, and so he produced a number of works showing neon lights moving through such mundane objects as a raincoat or an umbrella. Starting in 1969, he started incorporating the Fibonacci sequence in many of his works as a symbol of the basic principles of growth and creation. One of Merz's most famous works is an installation of the Fibonacci numbers (a series in which any number is the sum of the two previous numbers: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5 and so on) at the Centre for International Light, located in Unna, Germany.
