Guided Tours of the Exhibition "Manu-Facture: The Ceramics of Lucio Fontana"

Exhibition curator Sharon Hecker and Ambra D’Antone, Curatorial Assistant, Peggy Guggenheim Collection, guided members on preview tours of the exhibition Manu-Facture: The Ceramics of Lucio Fontana.

Manu-Facture: The Ceramics of Lucio Fontana, the first museum exhibition to focus exclusively on the ceramics of Lucio Fontana (1899–1968), provides an exceptional testament to the artist’s creative imagination in sculpture. With about seventy works, on loan from public and private collections, including previously unexhibited pieces, the exhibition encompasses a broad range of subjects—from human figures to animals, harlequins, warriors, as well as abstract forms. While some sculptures emphasize the organic nature of the medium, others are glazed with bright and intense colors. Some were produced in series, while others are unique objects. The show also features photographic documentation of Fontana at work and reveals the importance of the artist’s hand in the creative process.
