Catalogue Note

"Lucio Fontana era un uomo profondamente umano e buono.
L' artista? Ho avuto modo di passare pomeriggi seduta nel più rigoroso silenzio adorando ogni sua mossa mentre lavorava. Ho ascoltato molto e osservato. Era speciale... e così bello!"

Lucio Fontana was a profoundly human and good hearted man.
The artist? I have had the privilege to spend entire afternoons in the most rigorous silence watching him working. I have listened  and observed. He was so special…and handsome!
