Argentine-Italian artist Lucio Fontana (1899–1968) was one of the most innovative artists of the twentieth century. Widely known for his Cuts series, the slashed paintings became symbols of the postwar era, the exhibition will present extraordinary examples of this iconic body of work until 14 April.
The exhibition also explores Fontana’s beginnings as a sculptor, including his ceramic work and his pioneering environments. The Met Breuer, El Museo del Barrio will present Fontana’s last environment, Spatial Environment at Documenta 4, in Kassel (1968).
