<p>In 1969, Greek-born Jannis Kounellis famously exhibited 11 live horses at Rome's Galleria l'Attico. Kounellis, who has been living in Rome since the beginning of his career, is a pioneer of the Art Povera movement, which originated in Italy in the mid-60s and is characterized by anti-establishment media (like street theater) and anti-elitist materials (like rope, rocks and discarded metal). Kounellis preferred dirt, fire, gold, burlap sacks, smoke and coffee grounds--to name a few of the substances that gradually appeared in his sculptures and installations. In 2002, Kounellis created his masterwork, "Labyrinth," a monumental installation comprised of 143 eight-foot-tall vertical iron panels surrounded by a layer of coal. Viewers can walk through to encounter traces of Kounellis' past pieces: burlap sacks, an iron cot, coffee grounds. Like a trip through "Labyrinth," this comprehensive monograph contributes richly to the understanding of Kounellis' influential 40-year career.</p>

Painter and sculptor Menashe Kadishman is one of Israel’s most important artists, and his famous sculptures can be found the world over in museums, private collections, and public spaces. This volume presents twenty of Kadishman’s most important works with full-color illustrations and accompanying text. Best known for his rolled steel sculptures dealing with the natural world—and in particular the interconnectedness of man, animals, and the environment—Kadishman has created many highly recognizable and sometimes distressing works that have figured prominently at, among other international venues, the Documenta IV and the various bienniales. Rounding out this exemplary overview of an exceptional artist’s work are a biography and a complete list of exhibitions.
