Arte Povera Exhibition at the Bourse de Commerce

Immerse Yourself in Arte Povera: Discover an Artistic Revolution

The Arte Povera exhibition at the Bourse de Commerce, from October 9, 2024, to January 20, 2025, offers a unique opportunity to explore a revolutionary artistic movement that has left a significant mark on contemporary art history. Organized by the Pinault Collection, this exhibition traces the origins and international impact of Arte Povera, a movement that emerged in Italy in the 1960s. Renowned curator Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev has assembled major works by thirteen iconic artists for this show.

A Selection of Iconic Works

Arte Povera, a term coined in 1967 by art critic Germano Celant, literally means "poor art." This movement is characterized by the use of humble and everyday materials to create artworks that explore the relationship between nature and culture. Artists like 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 revolutionized contemporary art by emphasizing the subjective experience of materials and their transformations.

A Dive into the Essence of Arte Povera

The exhibition at the Bourse de Commerce features a wide range of works from the Pinault Collection, complemented by pieces from the Castello di Rivoli Museum and the Fondazione per l'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT. Visitors can also view loans from major public and private collections, both French and Italian. This diversity offers a rich and nuanced view of Arte Povera, allowing visitors to fully appreciate the depth and variety of this movement's creations.
