The web section “Mosaics” has been updated adding the art work Vaso 8 / Vase no. 8 by the Swiss architect Mario Botta.
The mosaic was realized by Lino Reduzzi in 2013 and it is based on the original sketch drawn by Mario Botta. It belongs to a portfolio containing 13 paper drawings that illustrate the series of vases designed by the architect in the period 1999-2001.
In Vase no. 8 Botta pays homage to past and contemporary masters that influenced him. Their thoughts and their works are symbolically represented by their own hands, reproduced by the architect in their stylistic codes. In this way the works of Giacometti, Le Corbusier, Léger, Paladino and Picasso are directly related to the work of Mario Botta, here represented by his own hand at the center of the composition.
