ERRÖ (BORN 1932) Gravity n°40, 1975 - Series: The space paintings of 1976 Original canvas Signed and dated on reverse Label on reverse: 62 Unframed Height 116 cm - Width 89 cm An unclassifiable and prolific artist, Erró has been developing a prolific body of work since the 1960s, at the crossroads of surrealism, narrative figuration and Pop Art. Gravity n°40, from the series The Space Paintings begun in 1976, is a perfect illustration of this pictorial collage aesthetic, in which the world of science fiction becomes the stage for a visual reflection on progress, chaos and contemporary myths.
