Description: Six decades of sculptural innovation from the Arte Povera pioneer and alchemist of the everyday Over the course of more than five decades Jannis Kounellis developed a singular practice across painting works on paper sculpture installation and hybrid works combining objects with live performance. Playing a central role in the Italian Arte Povera movement of the 1960s and early 1970s Kounellis created wide - ranging and innovative works exploring theater migration history politics and other themes which continue to influence subsequent generations of artists. Published by the Walker Art Center for the first US Kounellis survey in over 35 years Jannis Kounellis in Six Acts offers the most comprehensive assessment of his career to date. The richly illustrated catalog assembled with the full cooperation of the artist's estate and archive presents a first - of - its - kind collection of visual materials and Kounellis writings including image - based exhibition and performance chronologies. The volume also features essays by Vincenzo de Bellis Claire Gilman Kit Hammonds and Ara H. Merjian. Jannis Kounellis (1936 2017) was born in Piraeus Greece. In 1956, he moved to Rome and by 1960 was an active member of the Arte Povera movement. In 1969 he created one of his best - known works: the installation of 12 live horses in the gallery L Attico in Rome. Kounellis first New York solo show was in 1972. Recent exhibitions have been held at the Museum of Cycladic Art Athens Greece (2012) and the Neue Nationalgalerie Berlin Germany (2007) among others.
