The definitive monograph on the work of sculptor, installation artist, and Arte Povera pioneer Luciano Fabro
Luciano Fabro was a founding member, and later leading critic, of Arte Povera, the materials- and experience-based art movement that began in Italy in the late 1960s. He went on to be exhibited internationally, becoming the first artist from the group to receive a major US retrospective, at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in 1992. Fabro was a controversial artist, yet still a critical favorite: in 2018 the leading art publication The Brooklyn Rail dedicated an entire issue to Fabro; and New York Times critic Roberta Smith wrote that Fabro treated -artmaking less as a profession and more as a continuing experiment intended to keep himself entertained and the viewer slightly off-balance-.
This comprehensive, heavily illustrated monograph is the first complete overview of Fabro-s life and career, written by esteemed critic and curator Margit
