Arte Povera

The term Arte Povera (Italian for poor art ) was marked on 27 September 1967 by the art critic and curator Germano Celant, having in his hometown of Genoa, an exhibition of works by six Italian artists - Alighiero Boetti, Luciano Fabro, Jannis Kounellis, Pino Pascali, Giulio Paolini and Emilio Prini - entitled Arte povera e IM spazio (German: arms art and IM space ) showed.

Arte Povera is a movement of visual artists from Rome and Northern Italy from the second half of the 1960s and the 1970s. The works of Arte Povera are typically spatial installations from "poor", that is, ordinary and everyday materials (earth, shards of glass, wood, string, etc.).
