  • Celebrating 50 Years of Arte Povera Published on Iitaly.Org (
    Celebrating 50 Years of Arte Povera Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) Celebrating 50 Years of Arte Povera Alexandra M. Fanelli (December 28, 2017) The Italian art movement comes back this year with roaring success as the protagonist of several shows conquering New York's art scene as well as Europe's. It was November 1967, two months after his exhibition “Arte Povera e IM Spazio” at Genoa’s Galleria La Bertesca, that the Italian critic Germano Celant [2] published a manifesto on Flash Art magazine that would theorize and launch the Arte Poveramovement. The Origins Literally translated as ‘poor art’, the title refers to a group of Italian anti-establishment artists who, during the period of turmoil at the end of the 1960s in Italy, attacked the established ideals and the superficial consumer culture with unconventional materials and style. The term “poor” was not an indication of cheap, rather a reference to the artists’ use of humble, unconventional often ephemeral materials -wood, dirt, rags, steel, sacks, vegetables- alluding as well to the Polish director Jerzy Grotowski’s concept of “poor theater,” which stripped away lavish costumes and detailed sets and encouraged the actor’s relationship with the audience. Page 1 of 3 Celebrating 50 Years of Arte Povera Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) The poveristi favored an art form that was more conceptual and got rid of unnecessary layers, as a rejection of traditional 'high' art. “Arte Povera was concerned with taking away, eliminating, and downgrading things to a minimum,” said Mr. Celant. Among the core figures associated with the movement are Giovanni Anselmo [3], Alighiero Boetti [4], Jannis Kounellis [5], Michelangelo Pistoletto [6], Giuseppe Penone [7], Alberto Burri [8], Lucio Fontana [9], Emilio Prini [10], Pino Pascali [11], Enrico Castellani [12], Piero Manzoni [13], Luciano Fabro [14], Pier-Paolo Calzolari [15], Mario Merz [16], and his wife Marisa Merz [17], the only female member of Arte Povera.

Since its inception in the 1960s, this influential group of post-war disruptors has enjoyed varying degrees of visibility in the United States, with a significantly stronger presence in commercial galleries than in the country’s institutional collections. Although these artists remain vital fixtures in European institutions, isolated works on view in stateside museums are scarce, and few museums have featured 1 poveristi solo exhibitions in recent memory. Nevertheless, Installation shot of Arte Povera. Courtesy Hauser & Wirth. from the outset of the movement, Arte Povera has remained a closely held love for a cadre of devoted supporters. Taking place outside the public institutions where we might ordinarily expect to find this sort of historical treatment, these four exhibitions richly illustrate their patronage and a compelling portrait of a fiercely innovative group of artists. From September to October, Hauser & Wirth hosted Arte Povera: Curated by Ingvild Goetz. Goetz began collecting Arte Povera with a passion early on; her extensive holdings occupied three floors of the gallery’s Chelsea location, amounting to a museum-quality display. This season, Luxembourg & Dayan is presenting Contingencies: Arte Povera and After, an exhibition showcasing historically significant selections alongside a handful of emerging artists.
