The present lot was painted by Aldo Rossi in 1977 while Rossi was creating one of his master architectural pieces, the Cemetery in Modena. Rossi took inspiration for some of the bold Brutalist features of the cemetery from the industrial buildings surrounding Modena. During this time, he painted several factories in Modena, including this painting, while completing the architectural project (1971-1984).
