Do you know that canvas you see in every permanent collection in every art museum around the world that has been slashed by an artist called Fontana ? There are many of them, each a slightly different size, with a different length slash. When encountering them I peer through the slash to the dark shadow, ‘concetto spaziale’, adjusting my eyes to the light that reaches the gallery wall. I wonder how many canvasses Fontana slashed, and how they would look displayed from the longest to the shortest ? The book aligns and extends these voids from page 1 to page 150. D.E.
