Fixing Fontana #4
To view the full, uncropped artwork, right click and open image in new tab.
In the 1950s, some Italian-Argentine artist named Lucio Fontana moved into my studio apartment in Greenwich Village, but it was too small, and he soon left, looking for more spatialism. But he left behind a stash of paintings, hidden beneath the foyer’s floorboards. I guess he ditched them because didn’t like them: They were all slashed up by a knife or boxcutter. But I thought they were pretty good, and feeling bad for him, and in his memory, I decided to fix them up and sign them on his behalf.
