Divided into three volumes, the catalogue raisonné dedicated to Mimmo Rotella's oeuvre looks at a career, spanning almost sixty years, of one of the great interpreters of Italian and international contemporary art. This first volume of the catalogue raisonné focuses on the period from 1944 to 1961: from Mimmo Rotella's first abstract experiments with a geometrical slant from the early 1950s to the creation of his famous décollages and retro d'affiches, internationally renowned by the beginning of the 1960s.
