Book Description: 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 Art Povera movement, which originated in Italy in the mid 60s and is characterized by anti establishment media (like street theater) and anti elitist 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 comprised 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.
