• 0721 • L'air est plein de ta chaleur, 1958
Painting, 64 x 53 cm.
© SABAM Belgium, 2024, Fondazione Lucio Fontana
Collection: Fondazione Lucio Fontana (Inv. no. 84).
This deep red painting is Verheyen’s first
successful monochrome experiment. The floating
half arc blends into the background, making
way for a meditative red. In 1958 this work is
exhibited for the first and last time, at the
G58 exhibition in the Hessenhuis, in Antwerp.
Verheyen’s Italian friend and mentor Lucio
Fontana acquires the painting.
This is the first time that the Fondazione
Lucio Fontana has loaned the work. After more
than 60 years, it is back in Antwerp.
