Michelangelo Pistoletto was born in Biella in 1933. He starts to exhibit his art in 1955 and in 1960 his first solo exhibition opens at the Galleria Galatea in Turin. The artist's pictorial production of early times is characterized by a research on self-portrait. In the two-year period between 1961 and 1962, he begins the series Quadri specchianti (Mirror Paintings), which include the observer directly in the oeuvre.
The works make reference to time real dimension and open a new perspective reversing the Renaissance view enclosed by the 20th Century vanguards. Thanks to these works, Pistoletto achieves soon international acknowledgement and success and in the Sixties he opens solo exhibitions in eminent galleries and museums in Europe and in the Unites States.
