From May 9–13, with a VIP preview on May 8, Robilant+Voena returns to TEFAF New York 2025 with a stand-out presentation focused on 20th-century Italian art, headlined by a rare and dynamic group of works by Lucio Fontana.
Taking center stage at Stand 307 at the Park Avenue Armory, the booth offers an incisive look at the material experimentation and conceptual radicalism that defined Italy’s postwar avant-garde.
The presentation features Fontana’s ceramics from the 1950s and early 1960s, ranging from figurative to Spatialist works, as well as vibrant paintings from his Buchi, Tagli, Olii, and Metalli series—including rare color variations in fuchsia and orange, and a striking aluminum piece from the Metalli body of work.
Complementing Fontana is a 1961 brass sculpture by Fausto Melotti, a turning-point piece from a pivotal year in the artist’s sculptural evolution.
