Description

Italian sculptor and printmaker Arnaldo Pomodoro returned to Northern California between 1968 and 1970 to install a sculpture titled "Colonna Inter a recisa" (Slashed Column) at the University of California in Berkeley.

He also returned to work with Collectors Press on a series of color lithographs that explored the subject of slashing a column at an angle in two dimensions. This image is the same as another Collectors Press image, #228 which is printed in blue, white and silver, this is printed in yellow, black, gray and white.
