Catalogue Note
"Certo 'il taglio è il taglio', gli sembrava così ovvio. Ma non sembrava ovvio agli altri, quelli che amavano per la loro pittura un luogo caldo e ben illuminato, quelli che amano lo spazio limitato a un certo punto e non, come Fontana, lo spazio e poi lo spazio e poi lo spazio ancora."
