Lucio del Pezzo studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples and in 1958 founded Gruppo 58, an artistic movement with a 'neo-surrealist' approach.

In his object-paintings, as well as in his assemblages, the playful aspect of art is always present in a continuous relationship of colors and forms. Among his numerous exhibitions, the De Metafisica exhibition where he exhibited together with De Chirico, Carrà, Morandi and Sironi is of particular importance.

From the early 1960s he created a repertoire enriched with semi-monochrome panels in which geometric objects were inserted, in the case of this silkscreen print we can find, for example, spheres, pyramids, stars and skittles. 

The work is part of a rare folder published by Intergrafica Roma.
