Attention: the plates broken as shown in the pictures.

Art pierces the hearts of kings and makes donkeys fly. L'arte trafigge i re e induce gli asini a volare.

Sandro Chia born in Florence in 1946, Sandro Chia is an exemplary exponent of modern Italian painting and sculp- ture. His work manifests a masterly treatment of the great myths of Mediterranean art. Chia's work can be described as >>Art about art«, as a profoundly intellectual preoccupa- tion with art in all its everlasting- ness. Sandro Chia's significance is reflected not least in the great trend- setting exhibitions that have taken place in recent years, whether »Zeit- geist<< in Berlin, »documenta 7<< in Kassel, >>The new Spirit of Painting<<< in London or >>Beuys zu Ehren<< in Munich.

Rosenthal Artist's Plate No. 24 >>>Kunst bewegt die Könige und bringt die Esel zum Fliegen<<< >>>Art pierces the hearts of kings and makes donkeys fly<<

A collage-like statement with scarab and spiral - a veiled mythological allusion to the mountain-moving power of art.
