    Alighiero Boetti (hardback)

    £19.99 Was £30.00

    Alighiero Boetti (1940–1994) was one of the most innovative artists of the twentieth century. Originally associated with the Arte Povera group in Turin, in the 1960s he made works using materials sourced in hardware stores, shifting by 1970 to create art using drawing, Biro pens, newspaper images and artist’s books. Based in Rome, he travelled constantly to distant destinations including Guatemala, Ethiopia, Japan, and, most frequently, Kabul, in Afghanistan. It was in Kabul that he set up a hotel and commissioned artisans to create embroideries, most famously his 'mappe', intricate maps of the world coloured according to political affiliation. Boetti’s work is always poetic and playful, and he enjoyed creating different kinds of games involving time patterns and numeric sequences. At the same time he remained in touch with and inspired by the world around him, responsive to the complex political shifts that took place during the 1970s and ‘80s.

    Published on the occasion of a major touring exhibition, this comprehensive, lavishly illustrated overview brings together leading international critics and curators, each examining a different aspect of Boetti’s achievements, together helping to explain why he remains both influential and inspiring nearly two decades after his death.

    Arte Povera

    £8.95

    The term Arte Povera was coined in 1967 by the critic Germano Celant to describe a group of Italian artists making work that used the simplest means to create poetic statements based on the events of everyday life. Seen as a reaction against the commercialism of the art market and the dominance of American Minimalist and Pop art, the work demonstrated a keen hunger to explore new materials. Suddenly, art could be made from anything: living things, products of the earth, industrially produced materials, moisture, sound or energy.

    Remarkable as a group phenomenon, Arte Povera included an extraordinary array of individual talents including Giovanni Anselmo, Alighiero Boetti, Jannis Kounellis, Mario Merz, Marisa Merz, Giulio Paolini, Giuseppe Penone and Michelangelo Pistoletto.

    In this fully illustrated survey Robert Lumley provides a concise and highly readable interpretation of Arte Povera informed by extensive interviews with the artists themselves.

    Robert Lumley is Professor of Italian Cultural History at University College London.
