An exhibition in Aosta traces the long shadow of Lucio Fontana

The Regional Archaeological Museum of Aosta is hosting until September 22, 2019 the exhibition Lucio Fontana. His long shadow, those traces not erased.

Starting from a significant corpus of thirty works by the celebrated artist, including canvases, ceramics and papers, the exhibition aims to present the themes that most represented a new way of conceiving art by Lucio Fontana between the late 1940s and 1968.

Lucio Fontana’s art has inspired some of the most important artistic languages between the 1950s and today: artists such as Piero Manzoni, Agostino Bonalumi, Enrico Castellani, Alberto Biasi, Gianni Colombo, Mario Deluigi, Roberto Crippa, Gianni Dova, Giuseppe Santomaso, Ettore Spalletti, Sandro Martini and many others are relevant to understanding Fontana’s long shadow, which the exhibition intends to highlight.

The central theme of the exhibition is therefore the investigation of the most significant poetics that, starting from Lucio Fontana, can represent a continuity of research.

The exhibition is curated by Giovanni Granzotto and Leonardo Conti.
