Executed in 1952. This plaster relief is composed of a series of irregular convex shapes that are evocative of a human head. Dating from 1952, Garibaldina was later used as the basis for an aluminum edition of six, plus two artist's proofs, three of which were painted white. An unpainted version has recently entered the collection of Museum Ludwig, Cologne.
