Giuseppe Penone. Impronte di luce

The catalogue constitutes a comprehensive monograph which covers the whole extension of the practice of Giuseppe Penone, leading protagonist of contemporary art and a main exponent of Arte Povera. The book focuses especially on the latest series of works created by Penone, Impronte di luce, by contextualizing it within his more than five decades long practice and his thorough committment to investigating and reassessing the tenets of sculpture and affirming the primacy of the sense of touching as a primal means of exploration of the world and the mutual connections between man and nature. In light of these elements, the book stands as a major scholarly source on the work of Penone.
