"A richly illustrated catalogue published by Paris Musées which includes essays by Fabrice Hergott, Jean-Louis Schefer, Daniel Soutif, Anthony White, Luca Massimo Barbero, Paolo Campiglio, Marina Pugliese, Sébastien Gokalp, Choghakate Kazarian, and an anthology of chosen essays by Yve-Alain Bois, Michel Tapié, Lawrence Alloway and other authors. The exhibition, presented in collaboration with the Fondazione Lucio Fontana, highlights the diversity of his work, between abstraction and figuration, metaphysical quest and incarnation, utopia and kitsch, technological fascination and amorphous materials. His slashed canvases, iconic works of modern art, are brought into confrontation with least-known pieces, in particular his 1930's sculpture and his ceramics, most of which are exhibited in France for the first time".
