Condition
Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate although the overall tonality is whiter in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection reveals a minute spec of loss to the upper most terracotta peek and a few tiny media accretions in isolated places throughout. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.

Catalogue Note
“The moral and psychological changes of all human relations and activities, we leave behind all known art-forms, and commence the development of an art based on the union of time and space […]. We imagine synthesis as the sum total of the physical elements: colour, sound, movement, time, space, integrated in physical and mental union. Colour, the element of space; sound, the element of time and movement, which develops in time and space. These are fundamental to the new art which encompasses the four dimensions of existence. Time and space.” The White Manifesto, Lucio Fontana, 1946
