Michelangelo Pistoletto, born 1933 in Biella, Italy, lives and works in Turin and Vienna. In 1961, when Pistoletto - one of the main figures of Arte Povera - conceived and realized the first mirror painting, he created a moment of simultaneity between the painted surface, the viewer, and the viewer´s reflection never before achieved in painting. The mirror painting becomes the equilibrating membrane between unity and multiplicity, past and future, and any other complementary opposites.

About his wall work Affresco-5 shown here Pistoletto says: »A single mirror divided into several parts replicates itself and expands in space in a process similar to cell division. This wall work makes a parallel between the virtuality of the mirror and the reality of biology.«
