Please contact us for a detailed condition report and extra pictures. // Portrait D'Antonin Artaud by Lucio Fontana, created in 1968, is a unique mixed-media work blending sculpture and literature to honor the influential artist and writer Antonin Artaud. This piece, from an edition of 80, features a vibrant orange, enamel-coated 'book-sculpture' made of wood, containing two die-cut Plexiglas plates—one opaque and one translucent—as well as an artist's book by Otto Hahn, with a cover illustration by Fontana. The minimal, abstract form and bold color encapsulate Fontana's avant-garde aesthetic while celebrating Artaud's radical, expressive legacy. Originally including additional copper and steel die-cut plates, the conceptual layering of this work reflects a synthesis of Fontana's spatial concerns with Artaud's explorative spirit. Published by Le Soleil Noir, Paris, this piece is numbered on the base of the book-sculpture and inside the front cover of the artist's book, marking its place within the deluxe edition.

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.
