The three-volume catalogue has an introduction by Enrico Crispolti, who edited the artist's Catalogo ragionato di sculture, dipinti, ambientazioni (Catalogo Raisonné of Sculptures, Paintings, Environments), and features a critical essay by Luca Massimo Barbero. The essay benefits from the scholar's years of studying, classifying and reorganizing Fontana's works on paper and makes the first exhaustive scientific contribution, accompanied by over 100 colour images, to their systematic historicization. The catalogue raisonné presents more than 5,000 works executed between 1928 and 1968, with individual entries that also offer a bibliographical analysis and overview of exhibitions. This makes the catalogue raisonné an essential, up-to-the-minute tool for scholars, collectors, museum operators and art dealers who wish to become thoroughly familiar with Fontana's oeuvre.
