ARTE POVERA | BOURSE DE COMMERCE

From today the Bourse de Commerce, Pinault Collection will host a major exhibition devoted to Arte Povera curated by Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev.

This exhibition explains both the Italian birth and the international emanation, the show comprises more than 250 works of this movement through works by the thirteen main protagonists of Arte Povera: Giovanni Anselmo, Alighiero Boetti, Pier Paolo Calzolari, Luciano Fabro, Jannis Kounellis, Mario Merz, Marisa Merz, Giulio Paolini, Pino Pascali, Giuseppe Penone, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Emilio Prini, and Gilberto Zorio – as well as new commissions entrusted to the artists of this historic group and to international artists of later generations whose work resonates strongly with the thought and practice of Arte Povera.
