Propagazioni: Giuiseppe Penone at Sevres / by Giulio Dalvit and Xavier Salomon

D. Giles Ltd, 2022. 

A celebration of the first works in porcelain Penone has created, among the largest pieces of porcelain ever produced at Sèvres.

A major figure in the Arte Povera movement of the late 1960s, the renowned Italian artist Giuseppe Penone (b. 1947) is known for his exploration of the relationship between art and the natural world in a body of work that includes sculpture, performance, works on paper, and even garden design. His first works in porcelain, the exquisite disks presented here, draw attention to the moment of touch—the convergence of surface and skin—that underpins so much of his work.
