Lucio Fontana

8 Oct-5 Dec 2015

Overview

For the opening of its new gallery space at 46, Albermarle Street in London’s Mayfair, Tornabuoni Art is pleased to present the first solo show of Lucio Fontana in almost a decade. The extraordinary body of work displayed in the exhibition will illustrate Lucio Fontana’s most celebrated series from the 1930s to his death in 1968. These works will include a stunning black and yellow painting from the Barocchi series, a beautiful white Attese, Fontana’s most emblematic gestural aesthetic as well as a very rare velvet on wood Pietre work from 1956. This exhibtion is the result of many years of research and tireless effort by Tornabuoni Art in the promotion, dissemination and valorisation of Lucio Fontana’s work. The exhibition catalogue will include essays by prominent figures such as Enrico Crispolti, Luca Massimo Barbero and Edward Lucie-Smith.
