Alighiero Boetti's work originated in the 1960s, during the years of experimentation that would give a new definition of artistic practice in Italy.

He participated in the collective that founded Arte Povera, developing his own style in an autonomous direction that stressed the distance between the idea and the execution of a work.

His first solo show was in 1967 in Turin, at the Christian Stein Gallery. The works in the collection, dated 1966, were shown on this occasion.

These pieces are presented as autonomous inventions that tend toward a presence both neutral and independent of the space in which they are shown.
