'Nous voulons que le tableau sorte de son cadre et que la sculpture quitte sa cloche de verre. Une expression d'art aérien d'une minute équivaut à celle qui s'étale sur un millénaire dans l'éternité [...] Nous ferons apparaître dans le ciel des formes artificielles, des arcs-en-ciel de merveilles' (L. Fontana, cité in Lucio Fontana, catalogue d'exposition, Paris, Musée National d'Art Moderne, Centre Georges Pompidou, 1987, p. 106).
'We want the painting to get out of its frame and the sculpture to leave its glass case. The expression of the ethereal art lasting for a minute is equal to that spreading out in eternity for over a millenium [...] We will make appear in the sky the artificial shapes, the rainbows of wonders' (L. Fontana, quoted in Lucio Fontana, exh. cat., Paris, Musée National d'Art Moderne, Centre Georges Pompidou, 1987, p. 106).
