“Today man is on earth and these are all things that man has done while on earth, but do you think man will have time to produce art while travelling through the universe? He will only have time to travel through space and discover marvelous things, things so beautiful that things here will seem worthless… Man must free himself completely from the earth, only then will the direction that he will take in the future become clear.” (L. Fontana, Fontana, exh. cat., Musée national d’art moderne Centre Pompidou, Paris, 1988, p. 36)
