The artwork, titled “Concept Spatiale,” was created by Lucio Fontana between 1959 and 1960. It is a product of the Spatialism art movement and falls within the sculpture genre.
The artwork is a three-dimensional form characterized by its robust and organic appearance. The surface is textured and uneven, exhibiting a dark, almost metallic quality. The most striking feature is a prominent, deliberate slit that runs through the piece, creating a sense of depth and opening within the form. This element, emblematic of Fontana’s interest in the relationship between space and matter, adds a compelling dynamic to the sculpture’s otherwise rounded, voluminous shape. The artwork evokes a feeling of tension and mystery, inviting viewers to ponder the spatial concepts that underlie its creation.
