D. Cloninger blogs about the exhibition Afro Burri Fontana at Haunch of Venison, New York, on view through April 28, 2012.

Cloninger writes that "the gallery sought to create a balanced show that would make evident the original dialogue between the three post-WWII Italian abstract artists and their American contemporaries [de Kooning, Twombly and Rauschenberg]…" and adds that "de Kooning worked in Afro's Rome studio during his years there."
