Description:
Created in 1962, this etching with aquatint is part of the legendary portfolio L'Avanguardia Internazionale Vol.1, which features major figures of the European avant-garde. Lucio Fontana, a pioneer of Spatialism, demonstrates his radical approach, where emptiness becomes form and matter is traversed by gesture.

Set against an intense black background punctuated with delicate perforations, Fontana incises the visual space with his characteristic precision. The image becomes a place to explore time, light, and infinity, reflecting his quest to transcend the traditional surface of the canvas.

Each print is hand-signed by Fontana and part of a limited edition of only 60 copies, making it a highly sought-after piece for collectors of modern art.
