Signed, Fontana in print - edition of 200, Sergio Tosi / Paolo Bellasich / Stampatori - signed FONTANA in the print // Lucio Fontana's 'Concetto Spaziale' is a lithograph measuring 99.5 x 70 cm, part of an edition of 200 and signed with 'Fontana' in the print. This work exemplifies Fontana’s exploration of spatial concepts, blending his minimalist aesthetic with tactile elegance. The golden background exudes opulence, while the vertical white stripe bisecting the composition evokes a sense of infinite space and simplicity.

The minimalistic design invites contemplation on the balance between material and void.

What is Tachisme?
Tachisme is a French abstract painting style that gained popularity between 1940 and 1950, often seen as the European counterpart to Abstract Expressionism. However, there are stylistic differences between the two. Tachisme, which emerged from Art Informel, rejected geometric abstraction in favor of more intuitive and spontaneous expression. It was a reaction against the structured forms of Cubism and is closely related to Informalism. Tachisme emphasizes gestural brushwork, irregular forms, and a focus on the process of painting itself.
