Artribune Magazine #40 Launches at Artissima with Lucio Fontana Feature

publication · 2026-05-05

Artribune Magazine issue 40 will be distributed starting early November during Artissima and Turin's art week. The issue includes a feature on the Lucio Fontana exhibition at Hangar Bicocca in Milan, focusing on the reconstruction of his Ambienti spaziali. Barbara Ferriani, interviewed by Angela Madesani, explains the philological approach to restoring the original context and material aspect of Fontana's works, an area previously underexplored. The reconstruction, a first since Fontana's death, was done with Marina Pugliese and supported by F/ART, a leading neon lamp producer and partner of the exhibition and Artissima. Arianna Testino's article details how nine environments and two environmental interventions are revived at Pirelli Hangar Bicocca, recalling Fontana's 1951 neon structure for the IX Triennale di Milano. The magazine also features sections on art market, urban regeneration, and cultural tourism.
