My Most Important Piece of Art

This is my first very important piece and its story is very curious. As you can see in the signature it's from 1980 when I was still living in Milano.

One of the top fashion stores in downtown that sells very high-end shoes for men, in Corso Vittorio Emanuele very close to the Cathedral that we call "Duomo', asked me to have a few of my compositions to create a particular atmosphere in the display windows for a new line of shoes who's colors were very similar to my compositions. In particular the ones that I was realizing by........BURNING them !!!! I gave the owner of the store, 6 of my favorites and the effect on the display windows was........breathtaking !!!!

After 1 month, when I went there to pick them up after the exhibition, the owner of the store told me:" Gianni, we took out your pieces from the walls and display windows and my store is not the same anymore so, I would like to buy ALL 6 OF THEM !!!!!"

He knew the price because I told him in case some Client wanted to buy them so, he gave me an "important" check and he kept my favorite "Burned Tennis Rackets" !!!!

Thank you for reading!
