Schermo (Screen) on canvas with a ‘millerighe’ texture, inserted in a box frame with cardboard backing covered in the same fabric. The title of the artwork is displayed in the bottom-right-hand corner of the cardboard with Letraset transfer letters in German Gothic script. Na gut Achille is one of forty ‘thoughts’ that Mauri presented on forty screens at the ‘Warum ein Gedanke einen Raum verpestet?/Perché un pensiero intossica una stanza?’ exhibition-installation (inv. 700): words that were significant for various reasons, arranged in a scattered order, as if in a stream of consciousness.
