Arte Povera captures one of the most pivotal points in the history of Italian contemporary art with the way it broke boundaries in traditional art making, its new engagement with audiences, and its experimental approach in making life and everyday objects integral to art. But how did it influence the broader context of contemporary art? This Saturday, Ambassador Giorgio Guglielmino will share with us his reflections on the topic.
