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.
