Catalogue Note
"L'opera fa parte di una serie sostanzialmente omogenea avviata nel 1960, accanto ad altre realizzazioni nelle quali, parallelamente, l'olio denso è usato come materia - "Naturalmente per Fontana l'olio è una materia, e il suo impiego è sempre materico, di una materia duttile che permette di iscrivervi ed affondarvi il segno del gesto che graffisce o del gesto che che buca e lacera" (Crispolti 1986, p. 22) - e che avrà il suo sviluppo nelle opere dell'anno successivo, fino al ciclo dedicato a Venezia, che di questo gruppo di opere costituisce il culmine." (Francesco Tedeschi, Lo spazio come luce, in catalogo della mostra Palazzo Forti, Verona 2002-2003, pagg. 85-86)
