Infinite Space

Presented by Sperone Westwater

January 6, 2006- February 25, 2006

Carla Accardi, Lucio Fontana


Lucio Fontana
Concetto spaziale, La Fine di Dio (La Genesi) (1963)
The exhibition will focus on paintings made in the 1950s and 1960s by Accardi and Fontana who both played a vital role in the Post-War avant-garde in Italy and whose groundbreaking exploration of the physicality of materials and the boundaries of space redefined traditional painting and sculpture.

The exhibition includes several of Fontana’s paintings executed in thickly impastoed oil paint including one from his important series La fine di Dio (The End of God). Several of Accardi’s canvases and gouaches, filled with the flatly rendered colored signs that characterize her work, are included in the exhibition, as are several works painted on transparent plastic called “sicofoil”— a series that revolutionized painting in Italy and beyond and had enormous influence on several sculptors from the “arte povera” group.
