This work is in very good condition. The colour of the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate. There is a barely detectable waving on the lower right side in correspondence of the Galleria Schettini label glued on the reverse. No traces of retouching appear to be visible under UV light.

“Io con il taglio ho inventato una formula che non credo di poter perfezionare. Sono riuscito con questa formula a dare a chi guarda il quadro un’impressione di calma spaziale, di rigore cosmico, di serenità nell’infinito”.
“With the slash I have invented a formula that I can’t possibly refine. Through this technique I have succeeded in communicating to the viewer a sensation of spatial calmness, cosmic rigour and serenity”.
Lucio Fontana intervistato da Giorgio Bocca (Incontro con Lucio Fontana, il vincitore di Venezia. Il taglio è il taglio, in “Il Giorno”, Milano, 6 luglio 1966)
