The youngest member of the Arte Povera movement, Giuseppe Penone (b. 1947) is well known for his sculptural works, yet he has maintained a deep engagement with drawing throughout his career. This comprehensive account of his works on paper emphasizes the foundational role that drawing plays in his multifaceted practice and provides in-depth analysis (aided by extensive conversations with the artist) of his techniques and materials, including such unorthodox media as coffee and adhesive tape. Identifying the centrality of drawing within Penone's own exceptionally inventive body of work, and also placing it in dialogue with the work of contemporaries such as Sol LeWitt, David Hammons, and Cy Twombly, this lavishly illustrated volume provides a multidisciplinary examination of a surprisingly overlooked aspect of one of the most influential figures in international artistic circles since the late 1960s.--From the publisher

This publication and exhibition it accompanies take a fresh look at the arte povera movement rarely associated with photographic and filmic media. They invite the viewer to "reverse the eye" through this unprecedented view of the artistic movement by also placing it in the social and political context of the time in Italy. The result of extensive research in artists' studios and private and public collections, the book reveals the extraordinary richness of a period when Italian artists were among the most important interpreters of the transformation of visual languages. This publication is structured around four themes: body, experience, image and theater. It presents more than 300 works by major figures of arte povera, including Giovanni Anselmo, Alighiero Boetti, Luigi Ghirri, Jannis Kounellis, Piero Manzoni, Mario Merz, Giuseppe Penone, Michelangelo Pistoletto... It also offers a visual immersion in the political and cultural context of the time with portfolios (printed on colored paper) dedicated to cinema, theater, political events, happenings and press extracts presenting the major socio-cultural issues of the time. Several texts shed light on the visual corpus at the end of the book: an essay by Giuliano Sergio on this period of Italian artistic effervescence in the 1960s and 1970s in a context of media development, a text by Elena Volpato on video art, followed by a detailed chronology of the movement as well as biographical notices of the artists. The title “Reversing the eye” is a reference to the eponymous work by Giuseppe Penone, Rovesciare i propri occhi, which appears in the book and exhibition. This book accompanies the exhibition presented jointly at the Jeu de Paume and LE BAL from October 2022 followed by the Triennale Milano in 2023, curated by Quentin Bajac, director of the Jeu de Paume, Diane Dufour, director of LE BAL, and Giuliano Sergio, independent curator, with the complicity of Lorenza Bravetta, curator at the Triennale Milano.
