WHAT DOES ARTE POVERA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Arte Povera

Arte Povera is a modern art movement. The Arte Povera movement was during 1967-1972 and took place in cities throughout Italy: Turin, Milan, Rome, Genoa, Venice, Naples and Bologna. The term was coined by Italian art critic Germano Celant and introduced in Italy during the period of upheaval at the end of the 1960s, when artists were taking a radical stance. Artists began attacking the values of established institutions of government, industry, and culture. The exhibition Im Spazio, curated by Germano Celant and held at the Galleria La Bertesca in Genoa, Italy, from September through October 1967, is often considered to be the official start of Arte Povera. Celant, who became one of Arte Povera's major proponents, organized two exhibitions in 1967 and 1968, followed by an influential book published by Electa in 1985 called Arte Povera Storie e protagonisti/Arte Povera. Histories and Protagonists, promoting the notion of a revolutionary art, free of convention, the power of structure, and the market place.
