Michelangelo Pistoletto discusses his landmark series of ‘Mirror Paintings’, focusing on a rare early example featuring fellow Italian artist Alighiero Boetti. Now in his eighties, Pistoletto has become synonymous across the art world with this series which has engaged him for more than five decades. Its works feature life-size images of human figures that are affixed to larger surfaces of highly-polished, stainless steel. Through his or her reflection, the viewer becomes an active player in each picture.
