Every macro detail, texture, and historical imprint tells a deep story that words alone cannot fully explain. DESCRIPTION: CERTIFIED MUSEUM-QUALITY INVESTMENT WORK Stefano De Carli (Italy, 1963) | "The Body of Matter" (Riemersi Cycle) — Monumental mixed-media sculpture (10.6 kg) incorporating authentic historic bricks from the Campanile of San Marco in Venice (1902). Year 2026. TECHNICAL DETAILS OF THE WORK Type: Mixed-media sculpture and conceptual art installation. Dimensions: 41 x 28 x 11 cm Weight: 10.6 kg Year created: 2026 (Created at the Artist's Atelier in Arona) Materials: Polished brass, naturally fractured porous volcanic tuff, and authentic historic bricks from the collapse of the Campanile of San Marco (July 14, 1902). THE MEANING AND ANATOMY OF THE WORK The fourth fundamental chapter in the celebrated "RIEMERSI" cycle, this work marks the pinnacle of the Maestro's mastery of mixed media. A fragment of millennia-old history resurfaces from oblivion, transforming into pure three-dimensional avant-garde art and taking shape as a veritable metaphysical altar to memory. The dramatic centerpiece of the installation is the inclusion of original historic bricks from the Campanile of San Marco, returned by the storm surges along the Lido shoreline, just a short distance from Villa Jolanda (the author's historic Liberty-style childhood home). These centuries-old clay blocks are held suspended in perfect barycentric balance by precisely tightened polished brass pins (a symbol of the scaffolding used in the reconstruction). They engage in a powerful dialogue with an imposing hollowed block of porous volcanic tuff, a magmatic material worked by natural fracturing that serves as an ancestral counterweight. The provenance of the materials is entirely transparent and complies with the Public Archaeology protocols of Ca' Foscari University of Venice ("El Paron de Casa"). ARTISTIC PEDIGREE AND CRITICAL LINEAGE The work is rooted in the great tradition of the Venetian avant-garde, inextricably linked to the legacy of Giuseppe Marchiori (art historian, founder of the Fronte Nuovo delle Arti in 1946, and mentor to Emilio Vedova) and to childhood conversations with the master of abstraction Leone Minassian. ARCHIVAL DOSSIER AND INSTITUTIONAL VALIDATION The lot comes with a sealed paper archival file, delivered together with the work, which includes: Certificate of Authenticity signed with the artist's biological fingerprint. Full-color technical drawing of the installation and photographic documentation of the on-site appraisal. Official Archiving Certificate (Archivio Generale Stefano De Carli). For absolute protection of the investment, the entire validation dossier and historical press coverage have been archived and can be consulted on the official website of the Archivio Generale Stefano De Carli (De Carli - Marchiori collection). DE CARLI COLLECTION Where the Past Becomes Elegance and Memory Becomes Form Welcome to the archive space of Stefano De Carli (1963), a conceptual place where time stands still and elegance spans the ages. Here, every work presented directly by the artist is much more than a collector's piece: it is a fragment of family history, a biological emotion, and a dynastic journey connecting three centuries of Italian visual culture, from Venice to the contemporary era. Our mission is clear and passionate: to bring the profound and spiritual value of matter to light through the rigor of Spatialism and autonomous three-dimensional sculpture. The historical file of the De Carli Collection is rooted in the cradle of the postwar Venetian avant-garde, inextricably linked to the figure of the great art historian and critic Giuseppe Marchiori (founder of the Fronte Nuovo delle Arti in 1946, mentor to Emilio Vedova and Renato Guttuso, and interlocutor of Peggy Guggenheim). This extraordinary aesthetic sensibility grew and matured amid the Liberty-style salons of Villa Jolanda on the Lido of Venice, a crossroads for childhood conversations with the master of international abstraction Leone Minassian. Working in complete independence, Stefano De Carli's research ranges from the award-winning, historic monochrome extruded surfaces (in which light geometrically redefines the space of the canvas) to the latest monumental installations and artist's books of the Riemersi cycle. Unique investment pieces, fully certified with a signed certificate of authenticity, the artist's fingerprint, and archival photographic appraisal, conceived for those who recognize timeless beauty. Let yourself be guided through this endless story, where every creation invites you to rediscover the past with fresh eyes.
