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 Spatialism?
Spatialism is an art movement that originated in Italy in 1947, founded by Lucio Fontana with the intention of synthesizing sound, color, movement, and space into a new form of art. The movement's central ideas were outlined in Fontana's first manifesto, published in 1947, where he introduced the concept of spatial art to capture the spirit of the post-war era. His ideas were further developed in five subsequent manifestos. Although Fontana's ideas were sometimes considered vague, his influence was significant, as he was one of the first European artists to emphasize art as a performance and gesture.
