Specialist note

'If in Yves Klein and Manzoni's "achromes" light is turned into matter, in my work colour represents both the phenomenon and its form. This explains the titles of my works, which are named after their colour: my paintings are not painted subjects but colour turning into form'. Agostino Bonalumi
