A mid-century embossed copper sculpture by Italian artist Lino Tinè (b. 1932), titled Scultura N. 11 and dating to circa 1965. Executed in embossed copper sheet mounted on a painted black base, the sculpture exemplifies Tinè's abstract geometric vocabulary and his engagement with architectural and urban themes. The work is signed by the artist and bears the original gallery stamp of the Galleria Schneider in Rome on the underside. The object remains in good condition with wear to the base consistent with age. Prospective collectors are directed to accompanying photographs for detailed condition assessment.
Lino Tinè was born Carmelo Tinè in 1932 in Floridia, province of Syracuse, Sicily . He studied at the Art School of Syracuse under Ferruccio Ferri and Salvo Monica, where his contemporaries included Angelo Cassia, Paolo Scirpa, and Tano Fortuna . He subsequently trained at the Art Institute of Florence and the Accademia di Brera in Milan, graduating in 1956 as a pupil of the renowned sculptor Marino Marini .
Tinè's artistic formation thus combined rigorous academic training with exposure to the most vital artistic currents of postwar Italy. Marini's influence—particularly his synthesis of archaic and modern sensibilities—resonates throughout Tinè's subsequent development.
