Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

In 1967 the critic Germano Celant defined as Arte Povera ("poor art") theork of 13 world renowned young Italian artists. This work documents andxplains the sculpture and installation work of these artists in the contextf the critics who shaped it and the broader cultural framework ofontemporaneous philosophers, film-makers and curators.;The innovative worksf the artists were lyrical, open-ended combinations of unlikely fragments -ive horses wandering through a gallery, a slab of marble with a lettuce -iving the most banal materials a metaphysical dimension.;The artists includenselmo, Boetti, Calzolari, Fabro, Kounellis, Mario and Marisa Merz, Paolini,ascali, Penone, Pistolleto, Prini and Zorio, many of whom have emerged asorld class artists who continue to exhibit internationally. Their work andtatements are published alongside contemporaneous texts by critics and otherhinkers of their day.
