First edition lithographic poster, 1935. 98x68cm.
Superb image, the only publicity poster made by Lucio Fontana. The idea of “tears” is shown to have been born almost twenty years before the creation of his most famous works on canvas. The black eclipsed world is illuminated by a horizontal tear; a simple yet stunning and timeless image.
QUALITY: B+. Two tears in the middle and in lower portion. Other marginal tears, overall very good state of conservation. Linen-backed.
