Untitled 1960

Mimmo Rotella's "Untitled" (1960) exemplifies his signature "décollage" technique, a form of reverse collage. Rotella would meticulously peel away layers of advertising posters from street walls, leaving behind a fragmented, abstract composition. The result is a layered and textural artwork that reflects the urban environment and the ephemerality of contemporary culture. The vibrant, contrasting colors, torn edges, and visible remnants of letters and images create a visually striking and thought-provoking experience.
