Etching, aquatint and cuts - 23 x 16 cm - hand Signed, Fontana - Edition of 100 // This etching and aquatint with cuts by Lucio Fontana is a compact yet profound work measuring 23 x 16 cm. Part of the artist’s iconic 'Concetto Spaziale' series, it features a delicate pink oval at the center, framed by swirling, hand-drawn lines etched into the surface. The central feature is a vertical cut that pierces through the composition, exemplifying Fontana’s revolutionary approach to space and material. The precise cut disrupts the flatness of the paper, creating a dialogue between two and three dimensions, a hallmark of his Spatialism philosophy. This hand-signed piece is from a limited edition of 100, highlighting Fontana’s mastery in combining conceptual rigor with minimalist elegance.

What is abstract expressionism?
Abstract Expressionism is an art movement that emerged in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s. Characterized by large, abstract canvases, the movement emphasized spontaneous, expressive brushwork and the use of color and form to convey emotion rather than represent reality. Artists like Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning are key figures in this movement. Abstract Expressionism marked a shift in the art world, making New York City a center of the international art scene.
