As a conceptual artist, his work explores the perceptual foundations of reality and the ability to question what we believe and what we see, while also seeking to bridge the gap between the museum or gallery space and everyday experience.
He was born in Buenos Aires in 1920. An engineer and self-taught artist, he began working with ceramics in the 1950s before incorporating various materials and supports. He later developed the so-called "abstract writings," also known as "written drawings".
In 1965, he produced one of his most controversial works: The Western and Christian Civilization. In the mid-1970s, he went into exile with his family in São Paulo, Brazil, where he continued to produce actively with a strong presence in the local scene until the 1990s, when he returned to Argentina. From the exhibition "Hells and Idolatries" (Institute of Ibero-American Cooperation, 2000) and the retrospective in 2004 at the Centro Cultural Recoleta, his name gained great visibility due to the challenging imprint of his works regarding institutions.
In 2007, he was awarded the Golden Lion at the 52nd Venice Biennale. The following year, together with his family, he created the Augusto and León Ferrari Art and Heritage Foundation to preserve his legacy and that of his father.

To celebrate the centenary of his birth (2020), two major panoramic exhibitions are planned: "Recurrences" at the National Museum of Fine Arts, finally presented in 2023 due to the pandemic, and "The Kind Cruelty," a panoramic exhibition inaugurated in 2021 at the Reina Sofia Museum (Spain), which travels through Europe to the Van Abbemuseum (Netherlands) and the Centre George Pompidou (France).
He passed away in Buenos Aires in 2013.

Back in Milan, he subscribed to the I Manifesto of Spatialism with the participation of Giorgo Kaisserlian, Beniamino Joppolo, and Milena Milani. In 1948, he signed the II Manifesto of Spatialism with Kaisserlian, Joppolo, Milani, and Antonio Tullier and presented Spatial Sculpture at the Venice International Art Biennale. The following year, he created the Space Environment with Black Light at the Galleria del Naviglio, and then, deepening his spatial search in the pictorial field, he created the first "holes." In 1950, he participated in the "International Exhibition of Modern Drawing" held in Bergamo, and in the competition for the fifth door of the Milan Cathedral. In 1951, he signed the IV Manifesto of Spatial Art. Then followed the cycles of "Stones" (works with the application of glass), "Inks," and "Papers."
In 1959, he exhibited the "Cuts" cycle at the Galleria del Naviglio and at the Galerie Stadler in Paris, proposing the physical rupture of the pictorial plane. In 1964, Enrique Crispolti organized a "Tribute to Fontana" within the scope of the international review Aspetti dell'arte contemporanea, and in 1966, the Museum of Modern Art in New York organized the traveling exhibition "Alberto Burri and Lucio Fontana."
