Lucio Fontana

20.11.2025

On Wednesday, November 19, in Lucio Fontana’s former studio on Corso Monforte 23, the publication of two volumes dedicated to the artist was announced to the public.
The first, Lucio Fontana. Mecenate Collezionista Militante, edited by Gaspare Luigi Marcone, focuses on Fontana’s aesthetic and conceptual choices, delving into his role as a patron—both financially and critically—in support of artists who were pivotal to twentieth-century art.
The second, Lucio Fontana in Argentina. From His Beginnings to the Manifiesto Blanco, edited by Daniela Alejandra Sbaraglia, explores Lucio Fontana’s years in Argentina, his birthplace. This period has recently been the subject of renewed scholarly attention thanks to recent studies and discoveries that have broadened its understanding and led to a reconsideration of its significance. We are certain that both books will also be of interest to our collectors and audience.
