7 contemporary artists reflect on Piero Manzoni's legacy

In a video produced by the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art's web TV, seven contemporary artists offer personal perspectives on the work and legacy of Piero Manzoni (1933-1963). The Italian artist, known for his poetic, ironic, provocative, and philosophical approach, profoundly influenced subsequent generations through painting, sculpture, drawing, and performance. Marina Abramović highlights how Manzoni expanded the boundaries of art, stating that artists now have the freedom to create art from anything, even dust. Belgian artist Wim Delvoye, who acknowledges his debt to Manzoni, sees in his work a validation of his own practice. Other international contributors include Kimsooja, Gavin Turk, Spencer Tunick, and Jonathan Monk. Notably, Italian artist Nanda Vigo, who was also Manzoni's partner, shares insights into his genius and isolation, recalling that few believed in what he was doing except for a handful of friends. The video was published in 2018 by the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art.
