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.
