The first major survey of Lucio Fontana (1899–1968) in the United States in more than forty years, this exhibition reexamines the career of one of the most innovative artists of the twentieth century. Fontana’s environments have been reconstructed for this exhibition: Spatial Environment: “Utopias,” at the Thirteenth Milan Triennial (Ambiente Spaziale: “Utopie,” nella XIIITriennale di Milano) and Spatial Environment in Red Light (Ambiente Spaziale a Luce Rossa). To coincide with the exhibition at The Met Breuer, El Museo del Barrio is also presenting Fontana’s last environment, Spatial Environment at Documenta 4, in Kassel (1968).
