M. Barbero, Lucio Fontana. Catalog raisonné of ceramic sculptures, Milan 2022, vol. I, p. 106 and vol. II, p. 483, n. 57 SPC 55 From the three-dimensional exploration of ceramic sculptures to his famous cuts, Lucio Fontana intellectually investigates the continuous alternation between full and empty, finite and infinite, light and darkness, matter and space. The cycle of holes, which was inaugurated in 1949 as a natural evolution of the research proposed two years earlier with the First Manifesto of Spatialism, became the maximum expression of Fontana's baroqueism precisely in the encounter with the expressive potential of terracotta, a ductile and malleable, sensitive medium to the gesture due to its nature. The "spatial concepts" on colored terracotta graffitied with holes represent the meeting point with the plastic study of the 1930s, summarizing Fontana's entire artistic research which insists on the concepts of anti-matter, gestures and unity of the arts for the overcoming of forms already known. "I make a hole, infinity passes through there, light passes through, there is no need to paint. Everyone believed that I wanted to destroy: but that's not true, I built, not destroyed, that's the thing. Which, afterwards, I give it an aesthetic structure [...] it is a reason of aesthetic taste" (Lucio Fontana). 46,50 x 46,50 x 4,50 cm.
