Livella verticale (Vertical Level) Possibly 1966 - 1973

"Livella verticale" (Vertical Level) is a minimalist artwork by Italian artist Giovanni Anselmo. It features a simple wooden level, vertically attached to the wall, against a light beige background. Anselmo's work often explores the relationship between art and the real world, using everyday objects as a starting point for reflection and contemplation. The level, a tool used for measuring and ensuring stability, becomes a visual representation of balance, precision, and the artist's fascination with the materiality of the world.
