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.
