This edition has been conceived and produced by Gianni Piacentino for his retrospective at the Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève. The iconography is inspired by the beginnings of aviation and the Wright Brothers (“WB” in the title), it recalls his first paintings from the 1970s. It is the first edition by Gianni Piacentino. Each piece was hand-painted by the artist.
