The coffee table book "Lucio Fontana: Sculptures" charts the uncategorizable artist's exploration of sculpture from the 1930s until his death.
In an extended essay, curator and leading Fontana researcher Luca Massimo Barbero examines ceramics as "the ideal material for the Fontanaian gesture" and re-examines Fontana's experiments with terracotta, clay, plaster, concrete and metal.
Researcher Cristina Beltrami places Lucio Fontana (1899-1968) as a pioneering artist in the European postwar context and examines his exchanges with other Italian and international artists.
The monograph, a collaboration with the Fondazione Lucio Fontana, also includes a biographical essay by the foundation's Maria Villa, outlining the artist's life through his constantly innovative sculptural practice, and serves as a companion to Lucio Fontana: Walking the Space.
