(b Turin, 20 Nov 1936). Italian sculptor, conceptual artist and writer. He frequented artistic circles in Udine in the mid-1950s. In 1958 Fabro saw Lucio Fontana’s contribution to the Venice Biennale and the following year moved to Milan, where he discovered the work of Yves Klein and Francesco Lo Savio and was closely associated with Piero Manzoni and Enrico Castellani. Their investigations of matter and space influenced Fabro’s idea of the artist as a facilitator of experiences without preconceived categories. After tentative early works, he embarked upon austere pieces that encapsulated phenomenological problems, such as The Hole (1963; artist’s col.), a mirror with the reflective coating partially scraped away. While the scraping mimicked the techniques of Art informel , the fusion of reflection and the recession, seen through the suspended glass, was indebted to Duchamp. His first one-man show (1965; Milan, Gal. Vismara) combined mirror pieces with the Spatial Lines , which demarcated their environment with tubular metal (e.g. Cross , 1965; Rotterdam, Boymans–van Beuningen). He included the physical participation of the observer in In Cube (metal rods and canvas, 1966; artist’s col.), a cubical enclosure tailored to a person’s height, and in Theatrical Production (1967; see 1987 exh. cat., p. 52), a mirrored cube that reflected the expectant audience. The series culminated in the cosmic space of the photographic wall In Front, Behind, Right, Left (Sky) (1967–8; artist’s col.). He grouped all these works together as Tautologies .  (hide)
