Artist’s proof
Galleria del deposito, Genova
The work is edited by Galleria del Deposito, Genoa. Galleria del Deposito was founded in 1963 as an international cooperative of artists by painter Eugenio Carmi and included Soto among its members, together with Lucio Fontana, Victor Vasarely and Max Bill. The purpose of the gallery was to produce and spread works of art, especially limited editions, which could reach a huge number of people thanks to their affordability, though unconventional sales channels as malls. Soto had a solo show at Galleria del Deposito in 1966 and this work was realised on that occasion.
