Lucio Fontana, Concetto Spaziale, Attesa (64 T 101), 1964. This painting is cover only by a smooth red surface and there is a vertical cut in the center of the canvas that almost occupies all the height of it. ‘With the slash I invented a formula that I don't think I can perfect. I managed with this formula to give the spectator an impression of spatial calm, of cosmic rigour, of the serenity of infinity' (L. Fontana, quoted in E. Crispolti, Lucio Fontana: Catalogo ragionata di sculture, dipinti, ambientazioni, vol. 1, Milan 2006, p. 105)
