Lucio Fontana designed this strong cardboard cover made up of three sheets of paper, white, red and white, with 4 holes through which the red paper appears on the white paper. The line framing the holes and the artist's signature are printed. Each hole made individually for each copy is therefore different. This places this cover somewhere between a multiple and an original work by Lucio Fontana.
