After 50 Years, Arte Povera is Still Provocative, Contemporary Art

Di uno scrittore di uomini misteriosi

Descrizione

In 1968, Arte Povera revolutionised European perceptions of art. Artists such as Alighiero Boetti, Pino Pascali and Michelangelo Pistoletto rejected figurative painting and sculpture and instead created a new vernacular, making works out of everyday objects. Fifty years later, the first major survey of Arte Povera in Russia, is opening at the State Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg. Sotheby's Museum Network sits down with the show's curator to learn more.
