拍品专文

"As a painter, while working on one of my perforated canvases, I do not want to make a painting: I want to open up space, create a new dimension for art, tie in with the cosmos as it endlessly expands beyond the confining plane of the picture." (Fontana, cited in Jan van der Marck and Enrico Crispolti, La Connaissance, Brussels 1974, p.7)
