Catalogue Note
"An expression of ephemeral art of a minute is as if it were to last a millennium... with the resources of modern methods we shall cause to appear in the sky: artificial shapes, rainbows of marvels, glowing phrases. We shall transmit by radio and television artistic expressions of a new kind" (The artist cited in Exhibition Catalogue, New York, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Lucio Fontana, Venice/ New York, 2006, p. 19)
