商品簡介
Originally published in Italian in 2013, this new English-language biography of Piero Manzoni provides an in-depth look at the personal and artistic life of this essential Italian artist.
Piero Manzoni’s brief career was one of the most radically inventive of the twentieth century, producing a body of work that continues to challenge the definitions of artistic sovereignty and virtuosity to this day. This newly translated biography charts Manzoni’s evolution as both an artist and an individual, tracing a line from his time in Milan to his affiliation with Lucio Fontana to his untimely death in 1963.
More than a hundred archival images, including candid photographs and manifesto reproductions, appear throughout the book, offering an additional layer of context to this comprehensive look at the life and art of one of the twentieth century’s most imaginative artists.
