An exceptionally rare, museum-grade document from Lucio Fontana’s historic solo exhibition at Tokyo Gallery in 1962—the absolute epicenter of post-war avant-garde art in Japan.
This item is not merely a record of an exhibition; it is an incredible "multiple" artwork object curated under the historical context of Spatialism (Concetto Spaziale). Replicating Fontana’s iconic canvas slashes, the paper booklet itself features radical die-cut and slash/slit treatments.
As recent market values on platforms like 1stDibs show single sheets from this era commanding upwards of $2,000 to $10,000+, this complete 1962 Tokyo Gallery edition is a holy grail for serious avant-garde art historians, institutional archives, and Fontana completists.
