An extremely beautiful Achrome, in the form of fibreglass on a red velvet background, with its rebellious curls gathered up and arranged by Manzoni: it seems to live a life of its own, that of the pure material chosen by the artist. A work that seduces you with the brilliance of its white, with a sort of mystery that it seems to conceal within, even if you know that for the artist it is exactly what you are looking at: an Achrome in fibreglass. A highly respectable pedigree completes the description, and makes it an important piece for your collection.
