Arte Povera
The term Arte Povera ( Italian: poor art) was coined on September 27, 1967 by the art critic and curator Germano Celant after he had an exhibition in his hometown of Genoa with works by six Italian artists - Alighiero Boetti , Luciano Fabro , Jannis Kounellis , Pino Pascali , Giulio Paolini and Emilio Prini - with the title Arte povera e IM spazio (English: poor art and IM space) showed.
Arte Povera stands for a movement of visual artists from Rome and northern Italy from the second half of the 1960s and 1970s. The works of Arte Povera are typically spatial installations made up of “poor”, i.e. H. Ordinary and everyday materials (earth, broken glass, wood, string, etc.). One of the first venues was the “Action Room 1” founded in 1969 in Munich by Alfred Gulden and friends, a hall in which action and concept art as well as Arte Povera were shown.
The most important collection of Arte Povera artists outside of Italy is now in the Liechtenstein Art Museum .
