Lucio Fontana (1899-1968) Concetto spaziale, natura
Lucio Fontana (1899-1968) Concetto spaziale, natura; terracotta; 31 x 31 x 28in. (78.7 x 78.7 x 71.1cm.). Executed in 1959-60. Estimate $2,057,900 - $3,007,700. Photo: Christie's Images Ltd. 2009 Concetto spaziale, Natura, 1959-60, by Lucio Fontana (1899-1968) is a unique work from a sculptural series described as the most important ever created by the artist (estimate: £1.3 million to £1.9 million). The largest of the series ever offered at auction, the present example was exhibited at the Palazzo Grassi in 1960, and was shown to the public for the first time in nearly 50 years at the Palazzo Ducale in Genoa from October 2008 to February 2009. It will be offered at auction for the first time at Christie’s in June. Created six months after Fontana’s first slash paintings, the Natura sculptures explored concepts of spaciality in a new, brutal and daring manner. In a letter to a friend in October 1960, Fontana said ‘This Summer, at Albisola I have worked hard. I have almost produced thirty very large terracotta spheres, with holes and large cuts. I am very pleased, I have managed to represent nothingness! This is the death of matter; pure life philosophy!’.
