Galleria Santoro, Rome (with the label on the reverse)

In 1964, Fontana created the first “Teatrini”, a series of small cheerful theatres, which represent a distinctive form in the artist's spatial concepts, as they combine the familiar principle of the “Buchi” (Holes) with unexpected figurative elements. Fontana places circumferential foreground strips in front of perforated cardboard sheets, creating silhouettes reminiscent of landscapes with hills, rocks, or trees. This division of the two levels creates a 'peep-box' effect with a confined spatial view, described by Fontana as 'spazialismo realista', a 'Realist Spatialism'. This group of works was inspired by the space travel in the 1960s, which peaked with the first unmanned moon landing in 1966. [KA]

In good condition. Some minor rubbing to the edges from framing, with slight superficia color loss in places, however, not impairing the extremely fine overall impression as framed.
