Verticale 1976

Giorgio Griffa's "Verticale" (1976) is a minimalist abstract painting characterized by its vertical stripes of varying widths and colors. The artist utilizes a limited palette of pastel hues, including pink, green, blue, and grey, against a muted beige background. The stripes, painted with a loose and gestural hand, create a sense of rhythm and movement across the canvas. The single, elongated stripe that breaks the uniformity of the grid on the right side of the canvas adds an element of asymmetry and tension to the composition. This piece exemplifies Griffa's artistic exploration of geometric forms and the interplay of color and line.
