Franco Fontana

A Space for Art are delighted to collaborate with Atlas Gallery to present a stunning collection of photographs by master photographer Franco Fontana.

Founded in 1994, Atlas is one of the foremost galleries in London dealing exclusively in fine art photography. Based in the heart of Marylebone, the gallery specialises in classic and modern 20th Century vintage photography, photojournalism, fashion and contemporary photography.

Curated for Margot, this presentation focuses on the works of the pioneer of colour photography Franco Fontana. Born in Italy in 1933, he is renowned for his intense and abstracted landscapes. Fontana’s aesthetic research is aimed at how colour can express something beyond our visual reality; in his words, “the purpose of art is to make the invisible visible”.
