Paolo Minoli

Born : 1942Died : 2004Documented citizenships : Italy

A painting from 1992, with no subject indicated and explicitly described as non-figurative, is executed in acrylic on canvas; its format is square, measuring 60 × 60 cm. Two works from 1991, Per il poeta d'una notte d'agosto and Per il poeta ...l'ora è tarda e rigata di blu, are executed in acrylic on wood and measure 30 × 30 cm. Signed and dated on the reverse, they pair their support and format with a title that evokes poetry and, in the second case, the late hour and the colour blue.

The heritage catalogue also lists Life space, Linee a rilievo as an isolated painting by Minoli, dated to the final quarter of the 20th century. These details do not constitute an overview of his entire output, but attest to the presence of paintings on canvas and wood, as well as works identified by distinctive titles.

This profile brings together identity references for Paolo Minoli and paintings, drawings and works on paper documented in auction catalogues.

8 references are documented at Artcurial Beurret Bailly Widmer, Germann, Sotheby’s. Each record links to its source; the amounts are not a general valuation of the artist’s work.
