Arte Povera
Luciano Fabro's “The Mirror of Italy” is just one of the works in a retrospective of the open-ended experimental Arte Povera movement whose anti-aesthetic attitude to art making and materials cleared the ground for so many younger artists working today. Essential viewing for anyone interested in contemporary art, “Zero to Infinity: Arte Povera, 1962-1972” is on show at the Tate Modern in London until August 19th. It then goes on to Minneapolis, Los Angeles and Washington, DC.
