Painting
Lucio Fontana’s body of work has come to be regarded as a powerful precedent for numerous 20th-century movements, including environmental art, performance art and Arte Povera. Born in 1899 in Argentina, Fontana moved with his family to Milan, Italy, in 1905. Fontana initially studied sculpture with his father, Luigi, and later at the Accademia de Brera. His first solo exhibition was held at the Galleria Il Milione in Milan in 1930. Fontana would continue to champion abstract art in Italy and abroad for the rest of his career.
