Catalogue Note
L'uovo, il germe,l'embrione d'un nuovo essere: ma anche la matrice spirituale, il microcosmo. (...) L'uovo gigante: sinonimo del Mondo e della Creazione: forza formante e formativa che non è più quella della Sfera dalla circonferenza perfetta ma quello di una sfera che si accascia, s'appiana, tende verso il basso.
Gillo Dorfles, Lucio Fontana, le Ova, Galleria dell'Ariete, giugno 1963
La storia di Fontana è la storia dell'infinita battaglia di Fontana con le sue mani
