The definitive monograph on the work of sculptor, theorist, and Arte Povera pioneer Luciano Fabro
Luciano Fabro (1936–2007) was an original member of Arte Povera, the materials- and experience-based art movement that emerged in Italy in the late 1960s. He went on to be exhibited internationally, becoming the first artist from the group to receive a major US retrospective, at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in 1992.
Fabro’s work is elusive, yet he remains a critical favorite: in 2018, the leading art publication The Brooklyn Rail dedicated an entire issue to Fabro, wherein Dia Art Foundation director Jessica Morgan commented that Fabro’s oeuvre presented ‘a marriage of the modern and the antique […] as surprising and compelling today as at its moment of production.’
Written by esteemed critic and curator Margit Rowell, who collaborated with Fabro repeatedly in his later years, this comprehensive, heavily illustrated monograph is the first complete overview of Fabro’s career, published with the full support and participation of the artist’s estate and international galleries.
