Lucio Fontana — Concetto spaziale, Attese
Lucio Fontana

Concetto spaziale, Attese

1966

A quintessential example from Lucio Fontana's iconic *Concetto spaziale, Attese* series, this work features four decisive vertical slashes through a vibrant red monochrome canvas. The cuts reveal the dark void behind the surface, embodying Fontana's radical Spatialism—his pursuit of transcending the two-dimensional picture plane to engage real space. Red examples from the *Tagli* (cuts) series are among the most sought-after, prized for their chromatic intensity and the dramatic tension between surface and depth.
