Reviews / Votes
Fontana's fast-working hands left the stage to artisans' slow-worked surfaces and mechanical means that, by excessive polishing, eliminated any trace of the process, displaying a clean and pristine surface. Fontana cut his hands, but the sensuous remains on the surface, whether touched or untouched by them.--Choghakate Kazarian "Brooklyn Rail"More details
