Spaziali/Nucleari

Following WWII in Italy, the art movements Spatialism (founded by Lucio Fontana) and Nuclear Art (founded by Enrico Baj, Sergio Dangelo, and Gianni Bertini) represented a strongly original and alternative artistic vision to an art world divided between Realism and Abstraction. Based on the outstanding Luciano Lanfranchi Collection, this magisterial, groundbreaking, 2-volume publication traces the birth and development of these movements, and offers extensive contextual and critical essays by notable art historians, with full-page and partial-page illustrations and documents, exhibition histories, bibliographies, and interviews.
