Fontana to Get Major US Retrospective at Met in ’17

July 8, 2015 by Marion Maneker

Fontana, Concetto Spaziale (1964)

The Art Newspaper is reporting that the Met is putting together plans for a major Lucio Fontana retrospective. Europe’s Warhol, Fontana has driven the Contemporary art market for nearly two decades and yet remains under-represented in US collections:

The Italian artist’s first and only US retrospective took place in 1977 at New York’s Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, which also presented a smaller show in 2006. “An exhibition at the Met will necessarily be all-encompassing,” a source says. A spokeswoman for the museum confirms that a Fontana show is “under consideration”. But the show has not been formally announced.
