Lucio Fontana — Concetto spaziale, l Quanta
Lucio Fontana

Concetto spaziale, l Quanta

A luminous example of Fontana's revolutionary "Quanta" series, this work features discrete shaped canvas elements that challenge the traditional boundaries of painting as a singular, unified surface. Executed around 1960, the composition embodies Fontana's Spatialist philosophy, in which art transcends the flat picture plane to engage with the surrounding space and environment. Registered under archive no. 59 Q 14a in the Fondazione Lucio Fontana, this piece stands as a testament to the artist's relentless pursuit of a new spatial dimension in art.
