E-36 (another from the edition illustrated, p. 59). Lucio fontana (1899 - 1968) was an italian painter and sculptor, who is mostly known as the founder of spatialism. He is also well-known for his cuts on canvases, which he realised by covering them with layers of thick oil paint and by using a scalpel or knife to create fissures. During his life, fontana created many graphic works. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no official proof of authenticity, however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution
