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. The venue, a historic mint, provided a distinctive setting for the presentation.
