Glazed ceramic and plaster. An artist's identifying label is located under the base. This work is part of Walter Guidobaldi's 1990s-2000s production, known as Wal, and specifically his series of putti, sculptures in the round made of marble, bronze, resin, or terracotta, monumental or small in size, featuring mischievous putti engaged in feats of skill. Wal became part of the Nuovi-nuovi movement in the 1980s, artists characterized by a playful lightness, almost worthy of Palazzeschi, and by a revival of color, imagery, and manual skill, thus responding to the overly "cold," intellectualistic climate that had developed in the 1970s around the poetics of so-called "conceptual art." This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no official proof of authenticity, however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution
