Description
The artwork is a mixed-media sculpture composed by several objects of daily collective use: there is a background made of coal and iron holding three Italian newspapers rolled up (Repubblica, Corriere della Sera, L'Unità).
This composition dates back to the last period of Kounellis' long career, when he used to realize 'objects-sculptures' made by different objects which create a unique world. Every object identifies with a particular feature of the artist's personality.
You are admiring a real masterpiece fruit of Jannis Jounellis's creative genius, a Greek painter and sculptor who anticipated and fostered the development of the Arte Povera movement.
Presentation
Jannis Kounellis (1936-2017) was a Greek-Italian artist renowned for his pivotal role in the Arte Povera movement. Born in Piraeus, Greece, he relocated to Rome in 1956 to study at the Accademia di Belle Arti.
Kounellis began his artistic journey with paintings that incorporated stenciled letters and numbers, reflecting urban signage. By the mid-1960s, he transitioned to using unconventional materials such as burlap sacks, coal, steel, and even live animals, challenging traditional art forms.
His notable exhibitions include the 1969 show at Galleria L'Attico in Rome, where he presented 12 live horses as part of his installation, exemplifying his innovative approach. Kounellis's works have been displayed in prominent institutions worldwide, including the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago and the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris.
Throughout his career, Kounellis received numerous accolades, reflecting his significant impact on contemporary art. His legacy continues to influence artists globally, inspiring explorations beyond conventional artistic boundaries.
