Robilant+Voena returns to TEFAF New York with a presentation of 20th-century art, especially highlighting the radical and wide-ranging contributions of Lucio Fontana in the Post-War period, alongside other selected Italian and international icons of modern art.
The remarkable selection, including paintings, sculpture, ceramics and works on paper, offers a taste of the dynamic artistic environment in Italy following the Second World War, with the works of Lucio Fontana assuming particular prominence in the booth. The presentation includes examples of his pioneering ceramic works from the 1950s and early ‘60s – both figurative and purely Spatialist works – which demonstrate his pioneering approach to the medium. These will be presented alongside paintings from the Buchi, Tagli and Olii bodies of work, including unusual examples in fuchsia and orange, and a rare work from the Metalli series (pictured above), made of aluminium.
Complementing these pieces by Fontana is an important brass sculpture by Fausto Melotti from 1961, a year that marked a turning point in his career.
Among the works by international twentieth-century artists is an early painting by René Magritte that shows the artist's consolidation of some of his most iconic motifs, and an impressively large work from Andy Warhol's Myths series, one of the few examples of its kind that features all ten of the figures from the series in a single work.
