Italian Post War After Lucio Fontana n.d. (Concetto Spaziale). 1961. gold foil and cutout. 14.7 x 23 cm. (26.8 x 28.1 cm) Mounted on black paper with typographic date recto and verso. - With minimal rubbing to the surface. Published by Editione d'Arte Fratelli Pozzo, Turin (1961). - Lucio Fontana's "Concetto Spaziale" are considered an iconic example of Spatialism. In this work, Fontana pierces the traditional picture plane four times by completely breaking up the two-dimensional plane with precise cuts, thus introducing space, light and depth as central design elements. Fontana's works on gold foil are thus not only aesthetically outstanding due to their auratising transcendence, but also express a radical new artistic beginning: they overcome the boundaries of painting and sculpture and lead art into a new, open dimension of space and perception.
