The volume explores, through a selection of approximately seventy works, including sculptures and paintings, the Master's artistic activity from the 50s onwards.
The critical essays of Enrico Crispolti enrich the text by providing some important insights into the life of Lucio Fontana, on his visits to Paris and Milan, during which he continued to hold a dense network of exchanges and relations with artists, architects and intellectuals of his time.
Vintage photographs, direct quotations from the artist, and a thorough biography contextualize the art of Fontana in the specific cultural climate in which he lived and help to better understand the evolutionary spirit of this person who, until his death, will be driven by a constant creative tension.
