Exhibition at the Gagosian Gallery, New York, 3 May - 30 June 2012

This book presents a substantial number of the spatial environments conceived by Italian artist Lucion Fontana (1899-1968) between 1948 and 1968, works that can be regarded as forerunners of the environments created by figures such as Allan Kaprow and Robert Irwin and the light art of Dan Flavin and Bruce Nauman.
Six of these environments have been shown at the Gagosian Gallery in New York, including his first "spatialist" work, Spatial Environment in Black Light, 1948-49, first shown at the Galleria del Naviglio, Milan, in 1949.
