Regarding the context of the exhibition, Duprat pointed out that “it has been said repeatedly that Argentines are Europeans in exile” and added: “Italy was, since the founding of our nation, an unavoidable reference not only because of the reception of immigration from those lands and its powerful influence on Argentine culture., sino, as in the specific case of the arts, "so it serves as a model in the visual memory of the country.".

But nevertheless, Duprat maintains that in the case of Fontana, “questions the direction of the link: makes it a transit area, a drift back and forth. Well, his trips between both countries and his subsequent settlement in Italy meant the universalization of an avant-garde that, although he recognized his European inspiration, “had been established in Argentina”.

“The Lucio Fontana exhibition, In Argentine public collections he traces his career from his magnificent figurative sculptures to his experimentations around the famous Spatial Concepts., with which he proposed an expansion of the two-dimensionality of painting”, described.
