Lucio Fontana: Spatial Environment (1968)

El Museo del Barrio is pleased to present artist Lucio Fontana’s 1968 Ambiente Spaziale [Spatial Environment]. First created in the late 1940s in relation to the artist’s innovative Spatialism movement, Fontana’s Ambienti Spaziali are labyrinthine, total environments that viewers enter and navigate. Reconstructed under the guidance of the Fondazione Lucio Fontana, the all-white Ambiente Spaziale (1968) at El Museo will follow the exact specifications of the artist’s final work in the series, originally conceived and presented at Documenta 4 in Kassel, Germany shortly before Fontana’s death.
