Franko Fontana

This catalogue serves as a tribute to Fontana’s distinct artistic legacy, shaped in the late 1960s under the influence of Abstract Expressionism and Minimalism. Inspired by contemporaries such as Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman, and Ed Reinhardt, Fontana diverged from traditional black and white photography, instead exploring bold form, colour, and abstraction. With over 400 solo exhibitions and international showcases: from the European House of Photography in Paris to the National Museum of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires, his work spans a remarkable breadth of subjects and perspectives. The catalogue uses purposeful, distinctive layouts to honour each collection, showcasing Fontana’s diverse vision and his unique way of seeing the world.
