LUCIO FONTANA CONCETTO SPAZIALE, "TAGLIO" 1965
Lucio Fontana (1899–1968)
Concetto Spaziale, Taglio, 1965
Steel with incision, mounted on base
This minimalist yet striking sculpture by Argentine-Italian artist Lucio Fontana embodies his pioneering Spatialism movement. The work features a single, deliberate incision in a square steel plate, transforming the flat surface into a space of infinite depth. By cutting through the metal, Fontana rejects traditional sculptural volume, instead inviting the viewer to contemplate the void and the space beyond the object itself. The raw, weathered surface contrasts with the clean precision of the slit, reflecting Fontana’s interest in the dialogue between materiality and the metaphysical.
