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 ‘light and space’?
The Light and Space Movement refers to loosely affiliated art movements connected to minimalism, geometric abstraction, and op art that originated in Southern California in the 1960s. Greatly influenced by artist John McLaughlin, these artists focused on sensory phenomena such as light, perception, and space as central elements of their work. They also incorporated cutting-edge technologies from the aerospace and engineering industries to develop light-filled and sensuous objects, creating immersive experiences that emphasize the viewer's perception.
