Gondoliers in Venice is an original etching realized by Gianpaolo Berto in 1974. Limited edition of 40 specimens numbered and signed (12/40). Good condition with a white cardboard passepartout (70x100 cm). Gianpaolo Berto (1940) was born and raised in the circumscribed but fervent artistic environment adriese postwar. The meeting with the masters Zancanaro and Levi is striking and constitutes the springboard of this eclectic artist in the world of contemporary Italian painting. Although he was among the very few admitted to the studio of De Chirico (but also of Guttuso and Picasso), and having exhibited in prestigious galleries and museums, Berto has always exempted himself from appearing in the windows of the great art market, preferring contact, in an anti-elitist key, with the most genuine public circles. 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
