Description
The exhibition showcases the entire body of work of Kounellis and combines more than 30 pieces from the early 1960s to 2016. The works are not arranged in chronological order of creation; instead, the presentation revolves around recurring themes such as matter and weight, language and signs, memory and silence, stage and icon. This creates an alternative interpretation of Kounellis's work, which is more comprehensive and radical than the usual perception of the artist as one of the main representatives of Arte Povera.
Highlights
- Over 30 works by Jannis Kounellis
- Curated by Vincenzo de Bellis
- Thematic presentation from 1960 to 2016
