Biography: Artist with a rebellious and biting soul, to date considered one of the most prolific painters of the Postwar period. He attracted critics early on by making monochrome paintings that offered the idea of a photographic screen that would later accommodate numbers, letters, street signs, the Esso and Coca Cola brands. He lived in New York where he hung out with Frank O’Hara, Jasper Johns and Andy Warhol. His solo exhibitions are mounted in Rome, Paris and Milan.
