How much is a Fontana painting worth?
1 Answer
How much a Fontana painting is worth depends on its condition, history, size and other characteristics. In 2015, Lucio Fontana’s 1964 oil on shaped canvas painting Concetto Spaziale, La Fine di Dio sold for more than $29 million at an auction in New York. The work displays one of the key characteristics of Fontana's work: the appearance of visible slashes and holes in the canvas. Fontana had a tendency to mar his canvas in this way to further his experiments in Spatialism, an art movement that he pioneered focused on distilling color, space, sound, movement and time into artwork. To get an estimated value for a particular Fontana piece, arrange for an evaluation by a certified appraiser or knowledgeable art dealer. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Lucio Fontana art.

Circa 1970 Original red composition on Plexiglas by Lucio Fontana
By Lucio Fontana
Located in PARIS, FR
Italian maestro Lucio Fontana, a trailblazer in spatialism and the mastermind behind "Concetto spaziale," pushed artistic boundaries with his innovative use of plexiglass. One such groundbreaking exhibition unfolded at Galleria il Quadro Biella.
Fontana, renowned for his Spatialist theories that advocated for a fusion of art and technology, harnessed the transparent allure of plexiglass to redefine the boundaries of artistic expression. The exhibition at Galleria il Quadro Biella became a testament to Fontana's avant-garde spirit and his relentless pursuit of transcending traditional artistic mediums.
With plexiglass as his canvas, Fontana delved into a realm where space and art converged. The material's transparency allowed for a unique interplay of light and form, creating an immersive experience for the viewer. Each piece, a testament to Fontana's mastery, unfolded a narrative that extended beyond the physical confines of the gallery.
