Catalogue Note
"Il segno è tutto, tutto e segno: questa la scoperta di Capogrossi. Una categoria vincolante, una prigione d'oro che favorisce evasioni all'interno di se stessa. (...)
Perché il segno di Capogrossi è un po' come il 'ready-made' di Duchamp...può essere assoluto o rettificato o aiutato, e così via. Cioè il segno è il punto di partenza ma, attraverso successive manipolazioni, diventano infiniti i punti d'arrivo."
(G. C. Argan, Capogrossi, Roma 1967, pag. 48)
