Jannis Kounellis Exhibition at Monnaie de Paris
The Monnaie de Paris hosted an exhibition of Jannis Kounellis from March 11 to April 30, 2016. The show highlighted the artist's central role in Arte Povera, a movement that flourished in Italy from the late 1960s. Kounellis's work is inseparable from this art historical context, and the exhibition offered a chance to rediscover his practice.
