A unique work by Michele Astolfi, created in Bologna in the early 2000s and part of an exclusive series of three large butterflies, each characterized by a different color variant: green, blue, and red.
This listing refers exclusively to the blue butterfly.
A material work created with a mixed media technique, using mirrored glass, crystals, glass paste elements, and decorative materials, individually assembled to create a three-dimensional surface rich in reflections and light variations.
Signed "Michael" at the bottom right and presented in the original aluminum frame.
A work with a strong scenographic impact, in which contemporary art, decoration, and craftsmanship merge in a sophisticated language, particularly suited to refined interiors and the world of luxury design.
The blue butterfly is one of three works from the original series, along with the green and red variants. The photographs of the three works together are included solely to document the complete series; this listing is for a single work.
