In the early 60s - late 70's, the International Art magazine BolaffiArte, had the brilliant idea of entrusting the production of each of its front covers to a prolific artist. These included the likes of Warhol, Moore, Man Ray, Miro and De Chirico. This idea sparked an array of unique, unrepeatable, limited edition, numbered and many signed prints.
The covers, with their BolaffiArte embossed stamps, and reverse information certificate, were distributed and produced in numerous themes over the years, to include Alphabet, Arabic Numbers, The Muses, Playing Cards, Deadly Sins and the Liberal Arts.
Print techniques included photolithography, screen print, relief and the likes, all presenting a story pertinent to the Artist and their stories of the time.
