This monumental publication on the artist Jannis Kounellis covers the entirety of his career from the late 1950s thorugh the 1990s. Kounellis was a co-founder of the Italian movement Arte Povera and used a variety of materials, organic (coffee, coal) and inorganic (steel plates, textiles), to create his sculptural works, which speak to such elemental themes as heat, creation, decay and endurance.

POLÍGRAFA

In 1969, Greek-born Jannis Kounellis famously exhibited 11 live horses at Rome's Galleria l'Attico. Kounellis, who has been living in Rome since the beginning of his career, is a pioneer of the Arte Povera movement, which originated in Italy in the mid-60s and is characterized by antiestablishment media (like street theater) and antielitist materials (like rope, rocks and discarded metal). Kounellis preferred dirt, fire, gold, burlap sacks, smoke and coffee grounds--to name a few of the substances that gradually appeared in his sculptures and installations. In 2002, Kounellis created his masterwork, "Labyrinth," a monumental installation composed of 143 eight-foot-tall vertical iron panels surrounded by a layer of coal. Viewers can walk through to encounter traces of Kounellis' past pieces: burlap sacks, an iron cot, coffee grounds. Like a trip through "Labyrinth," this comprehensive monograph contributes richly to the understanding of Kounellis' influential 40-year career.

Gli Ori

This remarkably clever, endearingly sweet book for children brings to life the art of Arte Povera, telling the Tales of Stone and More in short passages that describe the work of artists like Giovanni Anselmo, Alighiero Boetti, Jannis Kounellis, Mario Merz, and others who use stone, glass, wood, and fabric to create their works of art. It teaches that stones can think, that clothes thrown in a room become a rainbow, and that trees are infinitely more glorious than skyscrapers. The text and pictures will fire the imagination of readers young and old, inspiring them to think of how they can make art in their bedrooms and backyards out of things they find in their houses and neighborhoods.

Stanze #1 Anselmo - Kounellis, è la prima di una serie di mostre che Riso, Museo d'Arte Contemporanea della Sicilia dedica agli artisti che con le loro opere sono presenti nella sua collezione permanente. Il progetto espositivo riflette e rimette in gioco la storia, l'identità e la funzione del museo e persino la natura particolare dei suoi spazi. In questa esposizione Giovanni Anselmo e Jannis Kounellis hanno realizzato delle grandi opere basandosi sul principio dell'accumulazione; un principio che agisce sia all'interno della loro esperienza artistica che in una straordinaria relazione con le sale del museo. Il libro presenta, attraverso una vasta documentazione iconografica, questa particolare esperienza espositiva. Le immagini, e a margine il commento critico, sono il mezzo per reintrodurre una forma narrativa all'interno dell'attuale sistema museo-arte contemporanea.
