Lucio Fontana — Concetto Spaziale (rosa)
Lucio Fontana

Concetto Spaziale (rosa)

A shimmering thermoformed pink plastic sheet bears Fontana's characteristic slashes and punctures, transforming the material's smooth, luminous surface into a dynamic interplay of void and form. True to his Spatialist philosophy, Fontana ruptures the plane to invite the viewer beyond the physical boundary of the work itself, blurring the line between object and infinite space. The piece is accompanied by a book and slipcover, situating this tactile, sculptural gesture within the broader conceptual framework of his radical artistic vision.
