Description
Arte Povera - Trecento Milioni Di Anni by Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev explores the radical transformation of contemporary art in the mid-1960s. Under the banner "Arte Povera," or "poor art," Italian artists challenged traditional notions of art, merging it with everyday life and culture. The movement, founded by Germano Celant in 1967, brought together 13 key artists who expanded the boundaries of painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, and performance. This book retraces the history of Arte Povera, showcasing a selection of major works by its principal protagonists. Through this collection, Christov-Bakargiev provides a comprehensive overview of Arte Povera's impact on the art world, from its Italian origins to its global spread.
